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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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 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.

I dont see why you cant just make a new account? Or pick a name that is different from one you use on other sites? Or just not admit to blatantly illegal things in your posts?

This would save threads from being destroyed and keep people from needing to delete every single post they made.

You could add a feature that doesn't allow quoting for those posts.

Moonshoe said: 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.
Better yet we should get rid of ridiculous laws like were doing with weed.

It will never happen.
If you don't want incriminating evidence about yourself, don't leave it.. that's the best you can do. Or delete it later. But the admins will never allow this option, it would be abused and it would make the forums a complete mess. It's been discussed. And they used to delete all posts by request back in the day, but it made threads very fucked and confusing.
I probably get a PM once a month from some user freaking out asking to delete all their posts. And I'm not even very active.. You'd probably be surprised how many people would do it.

Good idea. Set the posts as anonymous.

I like the feeling of permanence here. This site isn't here to help people commit crimes, it is to share information. If you don't want certain information shared, don't publicly share it. Once you do, it is considered "public knowledge".
I would consider offering a service of manually deleting at the low rate of $500/10,000 posts.
