Can mods delete posts?

Cause it seems user "1 I am 1" posts have disappeared without a trace.

Yes, they can.

edit: Nevermind, I guess. TIL...

[stark]

No, we can't delete posts. (At least not at the moment.) We do, however, have a way to hide a users entire history of activity when we institute a ban.

Is that not the same thing?

I wish I could experience the power of pressing the "nuke it from orbit" button myself.

So wait.
Does that mean my sig can be filled with links to hidden posts?

Not entirely. It works a bit differently behind the scenes, even though it essentially has the same effect to the average user.

Yes. It was an alt.

The posts are hidden from the average user but still appear in the total post count of the thread. Mods can still see them. Not quite a deletion, but almost as good.

Well no

She has to get rid of a person's entire history and ban them

But

If you wanted a singular post gone because someone accidentally posted in the wrong rp thread or something

That couldn't be done

Boy, Mahz sure has done a brilliant job bringing back all the features we used to have.

We can actually hide individual posts. So if someone does post in your RP we can take care of it, however, like with the full sweep, the posts are still there and affect the post count. In Old Guild the posts were still there, it just didn't affect the post count the way it does here.
