(23:52:28) +duanemoody: people can't delete their own OPs any more?
[...]
(23:53:20) +duanemoody: because mods don't want to be blamed for it, is that what i'm reading?
[...]
(23:53:53) +duanemoody: yes? no?
(23:55:10) +Failhouse: https://boards.4chan.org/q/res/774078#p775002
(23:56:02) +duanemoody: i wasn't aware this was a hot button issue
[...]
(23:56:45) +duanemoody: were mods' feelings getting hurt
(23:57:15) +duanemoody: ok, don't discuss it
[...]
(00:04:37) @submarine: I dont know if I understand your earlier question duanemoody
(00:04:49) +duanemoody: what necessitated a policy change
(00:04:58) @submarine: yes, deleting your own post has been used to troll for a long time
(00:05:01) +duanemoody: we let people samefag right
(00:05:06) +duanemoody: and
(00:05:19) +duanemoody: it's their thread
(00:05:23) +duanemoody: why can't they delete it
(00:05:47) +duanemoody: if it completely goes off the rails they ought to
(00:06:00) @submarine: judging from the post moot made it was to prevent people from deleting their thread to try and drum up shit about legitimate threads being deleted
(00:06:12) @submarine: that post is the first I heard of it
(00:06:21) +duanemoody: that kind of shit is going to happen no matter what
(00:06:27) +duanemoody: if it's not OPs it's posts
(00:06:46) +duanemoody: but hey thanks for not telling us
(00:06:58) @submarine: Like I just said
(00:07:01) @submarine: this is the first I'm hearing about it
(00:07:08) +duanemoody: gj
(00:07:23) @submarine: Elaborate
(00:07:43) +Failhouse: animu drama i suppose
(00:07:58) +duanemoody: i don't personally give a fuck about people faking our interference
(00:08:01) +duanemoody: it's going to happen
(00:08:05) @submarine: I don't make these choices
(00:08:10) @submarine: why on earth are you pissed at me about this
(00:08:14) +duanemoody: i'm not
(00:08:21) +duanemoody: i'm pissed at the guy who did it
(00:08:31) @submarine: You're lashing out
(00:08:46) +duanemoody: i quit the channel until someone needed my help
(00:08:49) » ChanServ (+b) *!*@blah.blah.blergh
(00:08:49) » +duanemoody was kicked by ChanServ (User has been banned from the channel (akick))
(00:09:02) +Failhouse: wat
(00:10:39) @submarine: Oh well I tried
(00:10:43) » moot (+k) anotheronebitesthedust
(00:11:52) +Failhouse: yea he seemed a little tempered wtf was with that
(00:12:10) ~moot: it's not the first time, but it's the last
(00:12:10) @submarine: honestly this was not the first time I have seen him react this way
(00:12:13) ~moot: right
(00:12:44) +Failhouse: oh, geez
(00:13:09) +Failhouse: i guess he was was... moody? (ba-dum tisssssssssssss)
(00:13:18) +Failhouse: sry
(00:13:19) @submarine: uh ohhh
(00:13:47) +Failhouse: but i dont see why he was making a big deal of deleting op's? thats seems so minimal
(00:14:04) * +Nikias waggles a finger at Failhouse.
(00:14:09) +Nikias: Bad.
(00:14:16) +Failhouse: ._.
(00:14:42) +Failhouse: sry me and my co-workers have pun off's so my brain is more in tuned to puns lately
(00:15:05) @submarine: eh
(00:15:27) @submarine: it is true that OPs deleting their own posts has been very useful in making us look bad
(00:15:45) +Nikias: From what I've heard, it has been.
(00:15:56) @submarine: I don't really have an opinion about this particular change
(00:16:04) @submarine: I dont think it will affect many legitimate users
(00:16:10) +Volphied370: It indeed was. I have no idea why he got so mad about this being blocked
(00:16:11) +Failhouse: yea same
(00:16:23) +Nikias: It seemed to be pretty common to do on /pol/, iirc.
(00:16:29) +Nikias: Or a board like pol
(00:17:06) @submarine: its a pretty effective trolling method
(00:17:13) +Volphied370: This often happened whenever there was an announcement saying that this or that thread is allowed
(00:17:27) +Volphied370: trolls rushing to create threads only to delete them
(00:17:31) +Volphied370: and then blame us for it
(00:17:53) +Volphied370: bastards were able to start a huge shitstorm that way
(00:18:36) +Volphied370: I know for sure that /v/ had this problem
(00:19:31) +Failhouse: oh the anime tripfagers that are always off topic did use that sometimes
(00:21:05) ~moot: people do it frequently
(00:22:46) @submarine: now introducing: post editing
(00:23:15) %BEAM: please no

And this is how Duanemoody got fired; He complained about moot's decision to make every 4chan board kinda work like /cow/.

(00:53:23) +McNuggets: Well, I'm fine with it. It's extremely annoying when an OP deletes a popular thread just to troll and/or deletes something just to blame us.
(00:54:02) +McNuggets: The OP may own his/her posts, but deleting a thread deletes OTHER people's posts too and the OP doesn't own those.
(00:54:42) +Volphied370: ^that's a good point

(11:11:05) +Troid: I've been Stone Age for the past several days - what was changed with regards to deleting one's own posts?
(11:11:10) +Troid: https://boards.4chan.org/q/res/774078
(11:12:31) +WhatWinterLeft: This was like yesterday
(11:14:48) +Troid: the thread isn't very helpful in explaining what happens. for all I know the change might have been reverted
(11:15:22) +WhatWinterLeft: basically if you try to delete your own thread, it says no.
(11:15:31) +WhatWinterLeft: This also made a bug where janitors couldn't delete OPs for a little while
(11:15:40) +Troid: regardless of whether or not there are replies to it?
(11:15:49) +WhatWinterLeft: Yup
(11:16:15) +Troid: that's a shame. people being able to remove their misfires and shit was useful
(11:16:31) +Troid: but I'll take the change if it means no one stir up shit by deleting full threads anymore
(11:16:51) +Troid: *no one can

(20:21:14) +Scroton: people on /vr/ are having console flamewars about consoles released in the 90s, of which one company is no longer involved in consoles or handhelds
(20:21:18) +Scroton: boggles the mind
