Bad idea, some important information would be lost. People couldn't follow the topic because posts that contribute and that were quoted aren't there anymore.

Even worse: a user could bash bigtime another one. Piss the other user off until it becomes a really ugly flamewar and before a mod or an admin notices it, he deletes all his posts. Then he says that nothing bad happened and the mods won't have a good reaon to ban him because they don't know what happened. Sure, the quotes could help but some parts will miss and that could be an advantage for the user that abused the system.

You could add a timer to that deleting option but it can still be abused.

The person who responded to that post.

Example.

At some time, I wrote:

You shouldn't be so mean. Blah blah blah.

Then you delete your post, and someone sees me responding to a post that isn't there. They come to the (wrong) conclusion that I wrote "At 12/4/04...." and flame me for making a fake post so I could tell you off or try to get you banned (this actually happens already when a mod deletes a post). Then someone tries to get me banned, even though I haven't done anything wrong.

I just found out EK said this and more, but I still think that editing posts is a bad idea. If you want to do something about your posts, spell check them before posting. It's been said a billion times, but prevention is the best solution.

I think thats a pretty good idea, as if they stuff up theyre post, they delete it, then post it again with the correct version, but ppl should just check they post b4 they post it. It makes sense.

I sure the Mods and NG staff do. I never liked the idea of an edit button. Due to the potential abuse.

The edit button should never be introduced to NG BBS, ppl will be spamming away.

Woah, nice job Foxsphere. 13,000 is a lot. Also when I clicked onto your profile I noticed you had 3,800 protects as well. Du bist auf dem Ball. =D

Nice job Gooch. I may be ahead in experience, but you're creaming me in that b/p department. I'll catch up, just you wait. =D

Yeah Ramagi, it does seem that there has been a steady flow of random users coming in here and making useless comments, many have been alts....*cough*BonusStage*cough**hack**wheeze*choke*die* ;_;

Qwoxyl (sp?) great job earning the bat. It's pretty hard to get out of there annoying hands nowadays. But you've gotten along just fine. =D

Well congrats SK. 2,000 protects is a lot. In fact it's not too far off from me. STAY BACK. >=( Hehe, keep up the good work, just don't pass me.

Well congrats DareDevilGuy on your successful posting. 5,000 is a lot, and it take a ton of patience. Too bad you skipped the screenie. Looks as if you'll have to wait for 5,555 posts then. =D

Happy late 17th birthday -TRA-! =D I disabled that. =P

Nice job tottie. 5,000 blams is a lot of work and effort, yet you managed to miss the screen too. 5,555 for all!! =D

Well SCD nice to know that you don't have to deal with a malfunctioning computer anymore. That's always good news. =D

Congrats on your rank up agatio. B/ping always seems to be harder as you get up there, but every rank makes that vp rise threw the roof. Hope to see your 4,000 blams soon. =D

Dammit, you just had to bring up the edit button thing again. Here's the bottom line: We haven't had it, we don't have it, and we never will have it. >=(

Yes yes gfox I know to read the rest. That's what I'm in the process of doing. I'm sure it'll be a "light" read for this Sunday. XD

I don't whistle flash very much, I'm not good at locating stolen flash, and the malicious junk I just blam. Whistle points are dead to me.

Well there's my late update for today. I'm sorry I totally didn't even make a post on the 3rd itself. But this is basically my post for December 3rd. For I woke up late this morning and had no time to post and then after school I had to go visit my mom who just had surgeury. ;_; Well nothing really special happening with my NG account.

Side note to SK: I told you. It always happens. You start to get closer to me in b/p then drop back. Like I said; hovering. =D

Your posts aren't as intense, because you add spacing. My main difficulty with reading your stuff is the sheer volume of it (ie. 1-3 loooong posts in pretty much every topic) when you play your catch-up game. I generally ignore the review-related ones anyway, but it can still be quite intimidating keeping up with your catchups.

Ahh. Well, I tend to vote first and then whistle. I often miss out on the whistle that way, though. If I remember to, I whistle first and THEN vote, but I don't usually remember to. #;-}>

I am as close to gold right now as I have ever been...

Most whistles that I gained where from abusive reviews linked in the abusive reviews thread.

I understand your fear. I tend to only whistle when I'm sure as well. That's why I don't whistle very much flash. But I do mark a lot of abusive reviews, so that's why I do okay when it comes to WP...

Anyway, I was just responding to your "I vote 0 when A)It's against the rules ex: stolen, malicious, etc." thing from a couple weeks ago, that's all. Wanted to make sure you knew not to vote 0 on stolen flash by default, and for anyone else who was doing it at all.

Don't they usually get blammed and then the real author submits it? so the admins can transfer a flash from one person to another? What the hell did you mean?

:::shrugs::: man, I wouldn't know, I'm not an admin. I'm just telling you what the admins say to do. After you whistle a stolen movie, it TELLS you to vote what you think the movie itself deserves, and not to try to punish the thief with a 0 vote. That's all I'm saying.

His name is AnusBoy. I finally remembered it. aka sanderail or TheSander.

I didn't ask for his username ;O. I just wanted to know what happened.

I didn't say you asked for it. I wanted to say it back in November and couldn't think of it. I have since run across the name again so now I remember. Voila!

OMG!!! YOU TWO ARE BANNINATED!!!

Oh really? testing right now :D

hahahahaha. no.

Then you won't be banninated!

OGMOGMGOGM we are banninated O_o :D

THIS TIME I'LL LET IT SLIDE.

MAYBE.

By the way, why do you reply to my old posts? I don't even remember posting that. :O

Because that's called "catching up."

Of course you posted it, ya big silly amnesiac! I don't forge quotes.

Just take a look at how many people you passed on today's top 500 VP list due to a b/p rankup.... and then tell me that you don't care about b/p because you're too busy with RG.

GO ON! I DARES YA.

RG ain't got NOTHING like the thrill of a VP climb. Of course, I suppose you could change that, Mr. Admin. #;-}> Adding VP to the PS Portal would be pretty nifty... you already added review responses and (not)helpful review marking, after all.

Yeah, it was after I wrote my faux-upset response that I realised that's what you meant by intense, not the size of the overall post.

I'm not really retired, I am actually taking the time I would use to mark reviews for other things. I still get a few here and there. I just want to spend my time doing otehr things. Since the title is mostly secure.

omg Police Captain. I've been Lieutenant for ages, and now I've progressed into the superior status of Captain.

Yes.

Police Captain Rank: Police Captain BLAMS: Involved in the termination of 601 crappy entries.
SAVES: Assisted in the protection of 399 quality entries.

This is absolutely the longest thread i have ever seen. I havn't leveled up in a while.. but its coming. I just need to dedicate myself to actually rating movies. : P

Ok, first of all I finally got my base voting power up to 8.9 , it took a whole week to change from 8.89 to what it is now... =)

And I have passed the 4,800 saves and 12,600 blams mark, and on top of that I'm less than 100 b/p points away from my next rank (EG Colonel), wich I will defently get tomorrow and it should also help me alot in passing about 10 people in VP =)

Also, my school semester has finished, wich can only mean one thing... BLAM WHORING TIEM =) .

Ok time for some updates i have 3 of them for today...

EXP: 8,000
BLAMS: 9,500
REVIEWS: 9,700

Cool cool things are looking good...

Yeah yeah, whatever you say SK. But now I think you can stop talking about how you're going to pass when when all you do is get close then get further away all the time. I think RC is right, it is obsession for you. =D

I wish I had thousands of posts that were of one line, or composed of 80% quotes, all of which had no value at all. Wait...NO I DON'T! rofl @ Bonus <3

Heh, lots of gfox stuff once again. These catch up games are fun aren't they gfox? I stopped with the whole quoting thing. I only quote if it's absolutely needed. I want to keep my character counts lol in my posts so I can write more without worring. =D

Congrats Earfetish. I don't see you coming here often, nice to see you. =D Police Captain isn't a bad rank at all, it's your first 1,000. Enjoy it, you're now in the 4 digit numbers. =D

My god, must we have someone stop by here randomly once a day and announce to us that the lounge is a big thread? Don't you people realize everyone posting here will see that it's long? >=(

Nice job sneaking into the top 100 EK. Keep up that insane pace of yours and you'll make top 50 in no time at all. =D

Wow, that's a nice base voting power. It's better than my overall one. Congratulations wismty on all of those insane b/p numbers.

Woah X, how to you always manage to get all of your stuff to fall so perfectly together? That's insane. Congrats on all of your cool numbers. =D

I just recently passed 8,500 b/ps today. So only 1,000 more to the next level. >_<

good job to all the recent rank ups of, well, everything.
grats bonusStage on your level up and your 5555 posts..
and your awesome spongebob sig.

5,555 saves. And slowly getting near 1,111 posts.

Congrats to Bonus, who has coincidently but unsurprsingly 5,555 posts, ~X~ for 8,000 exp, Earfetish for Police Captain and EK for the Top 100 b/p.

I'm surprised you still haven't gotten there yet. I didn't think you were that far behind me and I haven't really whistled anything besides a submission here or there since August. And before then I wasn't really on top of everything checking the portal very often.

Unless I made some horrible calculations, you made a typo with your base vp. With the 40% boost Lt.Col gives you, that would make your current vp 12.46 and since your vp is 9.51, I'm sure your finger slipped or something.

Skimming over the last 3 pages I noticed my staff sergeant b/p competition just grabbed his first weapon, so congrats on that Qwox.

First time I've had to do this, but I'm mentally worn right now and cannot individually cut and paste myself a super post. Hopefully this will be my one and only "congrats to everyone who accomplished anything." I'm all caught up and have read everything, but I'm pooped as all hell right now.
