Thanks Mark for all you are doing on this.

 

Regarding deleting messages, I think owners/moderators should be able to delete messages.  In the buying/selling group that I work with, the ads are kept for several years and then need to be deleted. 

 

Thanks,

Hi All,

 

I had hoped to have the first version of this completed by today, but I ended up having to make a lot of changes to the code and it's not quite ready yet. For this version:

 

- Members can edit their messages, and if they are moderated (or the group is moderated), their changes will have to be approved by the moderator.

- Members can delete their messages without approval needed. Deleted messages are replaced with 'This message has been deleted'. 

- Moderators with the correct privileges can do all of this as well.

- Edits to messages are kept and are viewable/diffable, just like wiki pages.

 

One question for you all. Right now there is no way to make a message completely disappear. If a message is deleted, it's replaced with 'This message has been deleted.'. Should I allow moderators to completely nuke a message so that it's like it never happened?

 

Thanks,

Mark
