T.w² | balon: what's up with this snip stuff
T.w² | balon: it needs to stop.
T.w² | balon: you're doing it to almost all your posts
T.w² | IKEA: Ok, well a few random points arise from your comments.
T.w² | IKEA: 1) "you're doing it to almost all your posts" Well that's absolutely false.
T.w² | balon: don't break down my words
T.w² | balon: point being
T.w² | balon: stop doing it
T.w² | IKEA: 2) Perhaps explaining why allof a sudden you're concerned about this?
T.w² | balon: we're scrolling through your threads etc and you're doing it? We don't see why
T.w² | balon: you shouldn't be removing content from the forums
T.w² | balon: for example your application has information which you randomly removed... there's other posts as well where stuff is removed. including posts in the trash bin
T.w² | balon: trash bin is archieved
T.w² | balon: normal members can't edit that
T.w² | balon: I'm not "concerned" it's that it shouldn't be happening, someone brought it up to me so I'm simply bringing it up to you
T.w² | balon: anything in the trash bin is an abuse of power, plus you're removing content from the forums which you posted... if anyone goes back and reads any of those threads theres now missing posts, input, etc, etc
T.w² | IKEA: Ok, well it's clearly obvious who it was, but in any event, I'll keep that in mind. I don't see why I can't remove my past posts.
T.w² | balon: Who would that be? And because it's a forum it's meant to have posts put on it, not have someone who has the power to remove them do such...
T.w² | balon: kinda breaks the whole point
T.w² | IKEA: It's a Web Moderator, I know who it is.
T.w² | balon: no, it's not lol but
T.w² | balon: all good
T.w² | balon: regardless please stop doing it
T.w² | balon: at least as much
T.w² | balon: i understand like taking out names or ages cause people get anal on privacy randomly, don't take the word anal bad its just my way of describing it (i do the same shit lol)
T.w² | IKEA: Hmm, well I'm still not wrapping my head around the complaint. I only snip my posts which I feel should be removed. They do not "derail" threads, I do it because I feel I should be able to, just like everyone else should be able to request something deleted. But in any event, instead of the person talking to me about it, they bring it to you. That's problem solving skills I love.
T.w² | balon: they bring it to me cause you're staff
T.w² | IKEA: Anyways, thanks for the heads up.
T.w² | balon: and posts in the trash bin is an abuse of staff power :p
T.w² | IKEA: Well I wasn't aware of that.
T.w² | IKEA: No one told me that.
T.w² | IKEA: How can I be aware of something I was unaware of?
T.w² | balon: well... think of it like this
T.w² | balon: can a member edit things in the trash bin?
T.w² | balon: it's hidden to only staff
T.w² | IKEA: No, but they can request this (I would hope).
T.w² | balon: no they cant
T.w² | balon: they can't see it exists
T.w² | IKEA: If someone wants something deleted, they would assume so no one can see.
T.w² | balon: the trash bin is where it gets 'deleted' to
T.w² | IKEA: Not so only staff can see.
T.w² | balon: the trash bin is an archieve
T.w² | IKEA: Right, I archive my post, and remove the contents in it.
T.w² | IKEA: I'm not too sure of the issue.
T.w² | balon: We don't remove stuff, it only goes into the trashbin incase future reference is needed on any of it
T.w² | IKEA: Well, in that case, was there something needed on my part? Sorry to sound a bit didactic, but again, I only remove contents of my posts relating to things that are personal, or can reveal certain information about me.
T.w² | IKEA: I feel everyone is entitled to that.
T.w² | balon: Once you make a post, it is on our servers.. we don't provide a deletion option to members for a reason
T.w² | balon: That's why it was reported to me
T.w² | IKEA: Ok, well, saying for me to "think of it like this" doesn't tell me anything, unfortunately.
T.w² | balon: Ok let me be clear then.
T.w² | IKEA: I would have liked to know this much longer ago, and this wouldn't have happened.
T.w² | balon: You do not have the right to use powers which members do not have. If you cannot figure that out, we state in MANY places staff cannot use their powers or their features members do not have. This is considered abuse.
T.w² | balon: By using ANY permission which everyone does not have, it is abuse. You are using an unfair advantage. It is the same thing with cheats in our CSGO servers, the exact wording we use I believe is 'unfair advantage'.
T.w² | balon: But since you want to break apart my words on the think of it like this, I'll be direct and to the point instead of trying to be nice and relatable
T.w² | balon: I don't like talking to people like I am their superior on the roster telling them what's what but if you want to take apart my words so be it.
T.w² | balon: You are NOT to use powers which everyone does not have for personal benefit
T.w² | balon: If you look in the trash-bin, members do NOT have access to this section
T.w² | balon: Therefore they cannot edit this content, nor remove it, alter it, or even see it exists
T.w² | balon: You have deleted data from TangoWorldWide by removing such content. We put things in there for a reason, it is an archive board, if you've ever deleted a thread before on http://TangoWorldWide.net you will see it gets placed in the trash bin
T.w² | balon: It is coded and designed like that
T.w² | balon: That is where 'deleted' content goes, content on the internet never gets deleted. Nor does it here
T.w² | balon: Everything is backed up every 5-7 hours
