Why did we lose the ability to delete our posts?

It's not a big deal; I just tried to do so the other day and found I couldn't. I don't really like asking an Admin or a moderator to delete things every time I need it.

The two things in bold are your reasons.

You just tried to do it. Mind if I ask what you tried to delete? And why? And what good reason there was for said post to NOT be there?

And yeah, no one ever seems to ask an Admin or mod before deleting whole threads after they get their questions answered or whatever.

Being an "SM" with the custom title doesn't mean you get to think you're better than everyone and can make it look like you don't need help. The delete post thing was originally designed to be used to delete your own double posts or if you regretted posting something (like maybe losing your temper and flaming someone)

Not for your image. Screw your image. :)

No need to be rude to me, Seth. I actually intended to delete several posts in my project thread so that I could merge the update messages together.

And yea, it was useful for accidental double-posts, etc..

As I said, not a big deal.

> What is a sm?
We used to have a group of people called Special Members, with a private forum etc. but it didn't work out so well...
ATM SMs are the ones that have a custom title (you get one with 100+ rep if I'm not mistaking).

Well actually I deleted few of my posts (well 400 of them :( ) few weeks ago, and then I got massage asking me not to do so. I don't know if those things are related (the fact that all members removed their ability to remove and my idiotic act of deleting theards) but I did miunderstood when you should or shouldn't remove posts.I learned only in cases of double posts and such you should delete theards, those things are found by admins in minutes (usually) so I guess they could do it with no need of our assistance. :)

>I get massage
Massage from deleting posts, not even we admins have that privilege. And you guys wonder why we removed it from you...

Anyway, just use the report button in those situations where you previously used the delete button and everything is almost as it used to be. With the difference that members don't have to delete 400 of there posts before we notice that something is wrong :p

Well, as far as I know, I never did anything wrong with it, so that's why I was curious.

Anyways, I was only wondering. It just disappeared, and I wasn't sure if you had meant it to.

Members with those powers are trusted enough (I guess) to make smart decisions :)

You don't have to do that. You do not have to clean up after yourself like that. Only report stuff you really HAVE to have deleted. For other stuff, just don't worry about it.

> can you delete all my junk

Too much work...
Those first 1000+ posts of yours are lost in time anyway already. Nothing to worry about anymore.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
