Is that McAfee?
Its not so much about standing behind your words as it is about the possibility that someone's employer or law enforcement could use what you have posted against you with real world consequences and the right of shroomery users to enjoy some means of protecting themselves from real world consequences to what they post, especially since a huge part of this site is about talking about illegal activities, drug use and even drug cultivation such as weed and mushroom growing.
Why shouldn't the shroomery offer an emergency bail out option for people willing to pay?
Again its not like we aren't allowed to delete our posts already.

Yeah McAfee is a right crazy fucker haha .
My argument is that if you don't want law enforcement, employers, friends, family or whatever to know this shit about you, don't say it on a public forum.
I am a drug warrior. I vehemently believe in legalisation. I exercise my right to cognitive liberty and am prepared to go to jail for my beliefs. My friends, family, lovers, co-workers, academic faculties and even the police (I've been charged with drug offences twice) know where I stand with things. I am not ashamed because this is my choice of life, and given that I do not physically harm others around me, I should be free to exercise this.
If I came from a more socially backwards country I probably would not be so vocal about my opinions, however in my opinion, living in fear is not living.
A big delete button would be helpful in many aspects of life, but perfection is nothing without imperfection.

How about instead of deleting all posts delete who the posts came from so the threads are not affected

Thats fine but if you want to go to jail for your posts you can do that, you would just choose not to use this function. But anyone who doesn't feel as heroic as you and doesn't want to face jail for their words on the shroomery, they should have the choice to use it.
No one will force anyone to use this, but it should be there for those who truly need it.
And yes, you could do it so posts wouldn't be deleted just the content of them so threads wouldn't be effected.

I would use it,and probably my other account from high school times. Not that I olan on leaving, the option is nice. I used to think the shroomery were cunts for acting like they, the mods I suppose considering that is who runs the place, own them. The mods are still cunts, because I enjoyed coaster's posts, but now days if you don't know the internet is about as private as public masturbation, I don't feel so ill toward it. If you ask formally they should be legally obligated to oblige though, being a buisiness and a service locking thee coaster emoticon thread, damn you koods. Damn you. I thought most gays were silly, what have you agaimst silly? What, it cloggs the boards like so much drain hair? I will find a response to your logic But this isnt about rolling or the laughs that will not be may he roll on on mycotopia. Yeah, like their real cuntmod would let him even finish a post

Nothing heroic about it man, it's just that old maxim: "loose lips sink ships".
The worst occasion I had with this site is when one of my ex's stalked through my posts. Given that it's easy to discuss anything behind the veil of pseudo-anonymity my thoughts about her and other women etc came out.
I've had my words come back to bite me in the ass more times than I can count, now I am more cautious .
I know this is a drug website and the very nature of most discussion is illegal, but you have to take that into account when you post here. There's only one instance where words are illegal and that's when your conspiring to harm others.. Hypothetical drug discussion, even talk of manufacture or distribution is not intrinsically illegal, unless there is physical evidence to back it up.

Even if you had the feature, it wouldn't be watertight.
There's still the problem of quotes. If someone quotes you, and you delete your posts, your text is still there in quotes in the other post. Like when you edit your post after it was quoted by someone else. You don't edit the quote then either.

Rather than deleting the content it should simply turn all of your posts into posts under the name of "removed".
This way you don't have gaps in threads and it's hard to single out one removed account over the other, they'd all be under the same name

That's not really what this is about. People wind up deleting all their posts all the time because of court cases and the like.
It would be a cool feature.

Not only would it be a cool feature, it's almost a necessary feature when dealing with content like this.
If ythan really wanted to discourage it from happening he could just charge a good amount of money for the action and thus monetize on it.

There could instead be a feature under the post box you could click that would auto-delete the post after a certain amount of time. You could adjust that amount of time in your settings. This would save threads from being destroyed and keep people from needing to delete every single post they made.

I could see this being really useful. I think I've considered deleting all my posts at some point.

But you'd still be quoted. With your name. Like in this post.

I think this option is a great idea. I'd take it further and say if the option is exercised, all your quoted content gets deleted too. Who cares if it would disrupt the flow of the thread? If they're worried about it happening too much, then just charge a high price for the service so it doesn't get exercised on a whim.
