I honestly think regular members should lose the ability to delete their own topics.

Re last three posts: are we aiming to deter noobs who delete their own topics out of ...noobish behaviour? Or trying to stop bloggers removing topics out of rage? I need more details, since I don't see how I can just do it without understanding the purpose of revoking self-delete topics.
Deleting topics out of rage behavior. Like on two occasions, people got criticism and deleted their topics.H-J カービイ said:
Make that on 'more occasions' if you count blogs. I was just talking about the general forum.
Yea like when Maria deleted her fan fic, I mean that topic was long she probably put a lot of time into it so I feel kinda bad for her that she just deleted it, it could've just been locked.
Regular members would be able to remove there own topics in there blog still since there the MOD of it. =P
I personally don't agree with this... idk why Ether removed his topic, but I think Maria removed it cuz someone (Matt and/or Aegis?) said something cold on the shoutbox/topic, so Maria removed it, i'm not sure of the full story though, but I think thats what happened. I don't think she should of removed it, but at the same time, she probably had a reason for it, probably not ONLY cuz of the above reason. I agree with Cook, I felt really bad when Maria removed that, it was not the best story ever, but I thought it was pretty decent. And it sucks she removed it, but I guess until she says something, we don't know the real reason for removal.
On the subject of the members removing topics, I think it should stay, however, if we see a few more removals (pointless removals) then I say "Take it away".

Oh yeah, spewing out criticism IS SUCH A VILE AND IMMORAL ACT. SHAME ON MATT AND/OR ME.
And....we could take it away NOW and then not witness butthurt on the forum.

If a regular members creates a topic that gets big and then deletes it for no reason...well that's why regular members shouldn't have power to delete topics.
I don't think it should be taken away. You can easily warn them for deleting their own topics, but then again, they created the topic, but they do not own the topic.
What? We can't warn members for erasing there topics. =P But I agree on not removing the feature of members doing it. But at the same time, I don't want to see the same thing happen to Maria or Ether again...
They just need to stay away from clicking the delete topic then. Most members here know it's common sense not to delete topics for no reason.Christmas Kirby said:
Yeah, and thinking about it, it's the member's decesion to erase the topic. They can if they want to... But I agree on only if necessary, not cuz of criticism, but at the same token, no one should be rude when giving criticism, as there's no need for it.
Uh, they can just, you know, contact the staff and ASK if the topic be removed. Plain and simple.
Well uh, most forums I've been to, the standard rule is that a user usually cannot delete even their own topics. If they really needed to delete it, then they can contact the admin/mods, otherwise they will go around deleting topics just because they felt hurt about something.

This and MPF are the only two forums I know where you can delete your own topics.
To me, it's stupid. Just contact the Staff.
For the record, I did give some fair criticism in Maria's topic before it was deleted.
MPF is broken as hell though and has a members rule the place like a wild jungle system though so it doesnt count. : pAejewsReflector said:
Well, I just don't know if it's possible, but it would be cool to separate the Forum Games from the Irrevelance Board into a new category so that way I could hide it and it wouldn't be annoying anymore for me and maybe other members from the forum. That way I wouldn't have to touch the Mark Read button too. 
Just asking....
Just asking....
Eh...I don't think it's necessary.
