Come to think of it, I don't know....

sattie, are you trying to turn this place into DC where people have the right to sanitize what others say? I don't like that precedent. It is far better to think before you type and not hit enter when you are angry. This was suppose to be an open forum where we celebrated free speech and the market place of ideas. Perhaps the real problem is not being able to comport oneself as an adult and posting in anger on a public page when it should be done by private message.
I do not want this site to turn into DC where the mods and admins can recreate history by deleting what others have said.
If this is what you are going to do, I fear you are going to lose membership.

At the same time, there are things that are more appropriate to PM's. And I don't think a person controlling what is on their page can be equated with DC removing posts, changing headers, removing entire threads, and even removing an entire profile.
Giving a person the ability to manage their own profile page is not the same as having Mods/Admins 'sanitizing' things.
That is just my take on it.

Susan, I understand what you are saying and have no intentions of trying to make this place like DC or any other forum. I don't care what DC does and I'm done with it like it is done with me. But I do understand the request. I agree in having free speech, but I also agree at being able to manage my own profile of things I don't care for.
I respect your position on this, I only ask that you respect mine and not accuse me of trying to mold this place into something that it is not. I think along with the freedom of speech comes along with the freedom of allowing what is and what is not posted on your own profile.

Not when it is someone else's post. The better solution is to private message that person and resolve the difference and not go to a mod or admin to change reality.
That is exactly what DC did and I will fight to keep this place from turning into that place.
Have we not learned what deleting posts and threads does? Are we going to repeat the same mistakes here. I hope not. It is why I came here. I wasn't banned until after I came here and followed chowhound.

Exactly! So, because we cannot control what other members post in public on our profiles, there should be an option to delete a post that the author SHOULD have pm'd.

I must've missed that setting. Of course members should be able to delete visitor messages from their own profile.
Visitor messages are not a good way to chat, please use PM for that purpose.
I will fix vistor messages so that you can delete the ones in your profile. Makes sense to me.
Re: Question on New Posts
I just checked, its the lower left hand corner of the block of visitor messages.
marked moderation, select delete.
First, check the box on the upper right hand of the vm you want to delete.
Then click the go button under moderation. The button will contain the total number of the messages you are changing. I think you will get a choice of a soft delete or a hard delete. I''m not sure what the difference is. The hard probably means gone forever, maybe soft means you can retrieve it. Doc?

Yes, it works. The only option I was offered was a "soft delete". I typed in the reason for deleting (test) and it deleted an "oops" message from deelady, but left her name and the time she posted her message.
Stacy, I see you found a way to delete everything of a post. How'd you do it?

Me too, all I get is the soft delete option. It still leaves username, time, and reason.
Can other members see that in your profile? Look at someone who said they deleted a VM and tell us if you see anything about the deleted message. I'm guessing no one else will see it.
I've never deleted one ....plus being admin I do not see the same thing as you folks do.

Ah, you are right Doc!
I just came to the site with Google Chrome which doesn’t have my login cookies, so I was a guest. I checked my own profile, and the test post I deleted does not show at all (no traces). So only you the profile owner can see the delete remnants.

Cool, cause I was gonna say I can still see the ones I deleted. But if only I can see that and visitors can't, that is good! Nothing messy to wonder about, LOL.
