There should be a way to instantly delete every post you have ever made 5

Just a thought I had. I think there should be a feature on the shroomery where if you want you can delete every single post you ever made on the shroomery at the click of a button. This would allow people who may have stumbled into legal trouble to instantly delete anything incriminating they have ever posted that could be used against them.
Do you guys think this would be an idea?
As it is its functionally impossible to delete all your posts manually once you get up to a high post count.
Is this possible? Should it be done?
Personally I think we should have this feature.

Then we would have a bunch of half empty threads that would be very hard to follow. I search here before google for a lot of stuff and that wouldn't be possible if that were to happen
It's already bad enough when you click on an old tek and all the pics have been deleted

Not many people would do it unless they had a strong reason to need to, in which case there need would far outweigh any problems it would cause.
I doubt you would even notice any difference. Most people would never want to delete all their threads, but it could be a real lifesaver in certain rare situations.
People wouldn't do it if they didn't have a good reason, and they are already allowed to delete all their posts, they just have to do it manually. This would just make it easier.
I would bet less then half of one percent of people would use the feature.

I think a person this would be useful for would have to be in a considerably large amount of legal trouble for their shroomery post to become a concern, I'd say it's a fair bet 98-99% of the shroomery will never do anything bad enough to start an investigaton where someone will have to ready tbrough all the dribble they post on here..
Edit: fuck, sorry, im on phone and didn't see you basically said that

It could also just be a personal thing like if someone found out your account and you didn't want someone from work or your family reading all your posts. There should really be a way to do this for when its needed.

Probably if you contacted an admin and made your situation and concerns clear they could do it. I'm not sure if it's ever been done tho

I'd rather just spend 9 hours feverishly deleting every single individual post.

I was gonna say this. Make it a possibility via contacting an admin. If they answer their PM's, since Asante doesn't

No. They are called threads for a reason.

I say no. Then certain people are going to flip that switch just because they finally realize what a jackass they've made of themselves across the forums. Sure the older members will still know what a jackass they were. But they're just gonna act like everything the older members said was made up shit.
I really don't see this being used in a way to protect yourself from incrimination, it would mostly be used by people who want a clean slate. Making it an admin decision wouldn't really change anything. They could just say they're in legal trouble and want it all gone. Who are the admins to really decide who is or isn't in legal trouble?

A self-destruct button would be a nice supporter account feature and/or incentive.

So is there any way this can be done, any interest in this, any support for making this a support account feature? I for one will buy a supporter account if this is offered.
It could also be a bit more selective, like instead of instantly deleting all a user's posts, it could be used to instantly delete all posts within a certain time frame (such as all posts in the last year or six months) or all posts in a certain sub forum (like all posts in other drugs discussion) or even just all posts in a specific thread (like WCA).
I think a lot of us could imagine situations where this feature could be a life saver. Why not offer it and give people a good reason to pay for supporter accounts?

There's a single click interface that allows you to permenantly remove any fuck ups you may have made in your life.
