Sometimes wazua seem to have dictatorial tendencies.....at the very least they should be informing members on the intended changes!!!!

Dear @Wendz,

Delete feature proved problematic when members complained, in at least 3 circumstances, that the original post in a thread was deleted or all the posts made by a user when challenged.

Edit feature is available. However the system generally allows editing posts made within the last couple of hours or so.


@McReggae, we were seriously dissuaded of dictatorial tendencies in the aftermath of Nov 30 2009, if you recall

Enjoy your Friday.

And who configures the system? Cant it be configured that someone can change/amend something after a day/a week/a month...?

I think Mukiha has a fair point. It makes sense to allow one to DELETE a post ONLY before others have commented on it. That way subsequent comments (commenting on post no longer in existence) do not look misplaced.

On the other hand, the window for editing should be extended perhaps to a day or two. This will allow a little time for buyer's remorse.

I think we all need to get the underlying message. Post only that which you can live with!

@All - I agree with the fact that the deleting and editing needs to be controlled. I once responded to a fellow who subsequently deleted his post - actually 'edited' - by deleting the content and replacing with a smiley. Good thing I had 'quoted' his earlier post. My post would have looked extremely weird with his missing and some wazuans would have wondered what I have been smoking. I have also responded to a fellow who subsequently edits his post and takes a totally opposite stand from the one he had taken earlier. A person reading his modified post and my original response totally gets confused!

Having said that, I also agree with the wazuans who are of the opinion that any member should be allowed to edit or delete his/her post subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. @Wazua, kindly explore this and come up with a hybrid system. The technology is definitely there. Over to you.

Wazua should allow editing or deleting post that have not been commented or quoted. i think that is an important feature.
