Deleting comments and Discussions

slip a dollar in her g-string for me
The edit button will 99.9% never happen on tuscl or twitter, but twitter allows you to delete your own tweets and comments.
Should we allow deleting your own discussion posts and comments here?

Previous posting history is one of the few things that keeps users accountable for their past behaviors and actions.
If one says something out of line, one should own it, or publicly retract it, as in apologize.
Most often I feel that it would be used to flame someone and get a real war going, and then to delete the evidence of who had started it.

As far as comments, people can post retractions. Better to make it stay up.

I've refrained from much of your worst stuff and have asked you to stop attacking me on threads, yet you insist on being a turd, this is my last request I'll stop playing nice and you will be sorry.

You're in control while you're typing a post, and you're in total control when you make the decision to submit a post. It's called personal responsibility. The permanence of a post is one of the few things that keeps users here somewhat accountable. If you post something that later gets used against you, then that means you need to be more careful about what you post.
Also, there is no new feature proposed here that doesn't get weaponized for dumb. Founder now allows us to change our profile names. Through that, the idiot troll, apoopdeep, transformed magically into this idiot troll: https://tuscl.net/member.php?id=675267
The only way you can tell is via the historical comments and discussions that are permanent for that profile. If users can simultaneously wipe out previous posting history and change user names, then that's basically a troll factory.
This isn't Twitter. Twitter has reporting mechanisms for abusive behavior and moderation. This site mostly rolls around in abuse and disdains moderation.
If we're not going to have even light moderation, then we should at least retain the scant mechanisms for accountability.
And, as far as I know, if anyone here *really* feels like they fucked up by posting a particular comment or thread, then they can go to founder and have it deleted or moved. I know that has been done before for users who approached him about sincere concerns about something they posted.
Perhaps something was going on behind the scenes that's beyond my scope, but I didn't understand the utility of that feature.
AFAIK you have deleted accounts (and posts) in the past when TUSCLers have asked you to - why not put that flexibility in the user's hands.
Got it. So, when someone hits the "Change" button, they see a big warning stating that they get to exercise this option only one time, and that this option wipes out any previous verification.
If they're not bright enough to anonymize their user name on the second try, then they have to request account deletion and start over.
The flaw with that idea is that your sourcing it from a "professional related website", which is suspect moderates members against weaponizing otherwise useful features.
So, I create troll account and post a thread where I say: "I like dogs!". During the next 50 minutes a number of users post things like: "That's great", "I do too", "That's adorable. Mine is only 3 years old."
And then, right before the 1 hour mark, I go back to my thread and edit it to read: "I like little boys!"
See the problem...?

Deleting comments or discussion posts makes sense on some well-moderated websites but not on lightly-moderated TUSCL.
Here it would be an open invitation to malicious trolls to create more damage.
25IQ has moved from ad hominem attacks to outright lies. I have never plagiarized a review. I have never called him a kike. I did call people calling for the murder of police officers in the streets some nasty names, and would again. They were promoting murder. As always 25IQ- lonely and destitute- will see a comment from me, wipe the drool from his cum-crusted lips, and type a vile and impotent reponse as he always does. His only power and courage is from behind a keyboard. As always, remember he is a liar, both demented and dishonest. And he has clearly stated that pedophiles should not be persecuted or prosecuted for having sex with minors. Maybe that's why his family has abandoned him?
It was 25IQ whom I called a porch monkey. Little did I know he was some homeless, dejected, 80 year old white SJW whose family has deserted him. I called NinaBambin an ignorant slut. All she could do was her usual blustering, as she spun her fantasy about earning three degrees on some 8-year college plan.
The conservative trolls here complain because no one bashes the liberal trolls. The liberal trolls complain because no one bashes the conservative trolls.
What could be more true is that the majority of TUSCL quietly hopes that you'll all STFU with your juvenile, dick-waggling temper tantrums performed under the thin guise of "politics".
I see someone like JimmyMcNulty take a cogent, consise, and constructive position on a political thread and most of you act like the dog farted, and then go back to calling each other schoolyard names.
Also, I don't think I should be able to delete this comment.
"And twentyfive, "those girls are mean in ways no one here could ever think of." Um... are you kidding me? Gammanut95 called YOU a porch monkey and compared ME to a racist blackface stereotype character while simultaneously telling me that I'm "well on my way" to having 12 kids and falsely accused me of being a weflare queen (related fact, I have 0 kids and the only assistance whatsoever that I get from the government is student loans).
Obviously gammanut95 felt stupid to say such non applicable things and he's one of the biggest nutcases on this forum..."
👏
Twentyfive is a lying piece of shit. He is an example of a true dreg of humanity. Barely even worth recognizing as a human being. He is as worthless as anyone can be. Having said that, I am embarassed to have stooped low enough to engage him. I should have remembered why i put him on ignore in the first place, and never should have given him a second chance.
No matter what you think, I am better than that. I am actually a pretty happy-go-lucky guy who prefers to live and let live. I'll say that again: No matter what you think. It simply does not. Fucking. Matter.
So I'm taking the high road (again) and putting the limp-dicked old fool back on ignore. He can spread as many lies as he wants about me being a racist and a Nazi, and if anyone believes that then it will be their loss. I am done wasting time with him, and demeaning myself in the process. 25 will try to claim this as some sort of hollow victory. Instead, I will leave you with this advice from Friedrich Nietzsche, "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster." It is time for me to heed that advice.
That said, I've typed things on TUSCL I wished I could have deleted.

Lol. Gamma did the same to Nina: after tormenting her with racial slurs, you might think she put Gamma on ignore. But it was the other way around. Hilarious!

However, it kinda is a downgrade edit button at the same time. I dont like what I wrote, so I copy, delete my post and repost again with new edits.
So keep that in mind.
