Why can't we delete posts anymore? I'm pretty sure we were able to do that before the forum closed back in January.

What's up with this, broskiz?

Yeah. I think we were actually able to delete our posts. Can we have that back?

Uh, you couldn't venture a guess of why you can't, even though it is clearly obvious that you are in another membergroup?  Seriously, the fact that you are not receiving a status due to post rank is indicative of you not being a default member. In the past, the default members had to have the permissions set to where they could do what you are callling for. Honestly, I am in the dark since I can't see the user rank thing in the admin panel anymore due to not being an administrator, but even I arrived at that conclusion.

Rupee Exploit. lol nuff said.

Until we resolve that, the ability to delete your own posts is disabled. If you wanna remove the content of your post, just modify it for now :P

(wait arent you the one who who discovered/utilized the exploit to begin with? XD)

Yeah, I did figure it out. I accidently deleted a post when I meant to modify it. Then my Rupee count stayed the same, then I posted again and my count went up. I was only using it a few times to bring my Rupees up from my great loss that happened to me the other day.

If he hadn't reported it tons of people will buy tons of rocks and the sell prices for items that they don't sell anymore will be ridiculously high, so I think he made a smart move..

I think it's better to let some people get away with free rupees and still allow people to delete thier posts. I mean, not everyone will use it, but you always want to delete a thread or a reply or something at one point.

The current system of "one rupee per post" seems much more forgiving for allowing users to delete their own posts than the "x rupees per word" model we used when this topic was written.  I don't have any official word or anything, as I'm not part of the dev team, but it seems to me that it would be okay to let users delete their own posts again, since the most they could gain from the exploit would be one rupee per post.  Even if they did do this, staff members would see that a user deleted tons of similar posts and could take action.

Obviously though the matter is up to the dev team.  These are just my thoughts on the matter.

What do you mean I need a life?  =P  Hm... Lives... Isn't that something that you get in Super Mario Bros?  You know, those green mushrooms?  That's a life, right?

Or simply remove that rupee if you have any in your pocket or bank. If there are 0 rupees, then ignore. haha..

Yes, the method suggested by gm112 would be incredibly easy to accomplish. You just have to find the function in SMF's code that corresponded to deleting posts, rather than the code creating posts, and simply change the code that added a rupee from the creation of a post into code that removes one.
