eb, thundara and fr33lunch mentioned here that they aren't keen on users deleting their posts, since they also delete the conversation of others. I can understand this position, and I personally wouldn't do it for that reason. But it is the author's post. Just as they have the right to delete it, you have the right not to comment on it. If someone makes a habit of deleting their posts, I either won't comment on them, or put little effort into it when I do so.
Why are you asking for this option kleinbl00? I mean, I understand when you for example care about your privacy and think somehow it's being violated so you ask to delete everything that can identify you personally, but I don't think you are a user who posts personal information in online forums that somehow someone can use it to harm you. I consider you a very cautious user. I ask because I have seen many forums where users have asked to delete everything they have posted for years leaving blank spaces in debates where they had participated. The case in point, correct me if I am wrong, is you on reddit. I used to save different comments you had made, for later pleasure of reading, honestly i learned a lot from them, returning to them finding that they had been deleted or modified.
1) MY comments, my content. You do not own them. Neither does Hubski, neither does Reddit. I control them, I control whether I feel like sharing them, I control whether I feel like unsharing them. The minute that ceases to be true is the minute I cease to share. 2) MY blank spaces to leave. I had felt like sharing my experiences in Hollywood with this crowd. I no longer feel that way. In fact, I feel that this crowd has so little empathy for a position they themselves do not enjoy that I do not even wish to give them a platform in which to discuss these issues. They're welcome to resubmit anything I've submitted in the past, but I'll be goddamned if I'll let a bunch of entitled SOBs sit around claiming people aren't entitled to worry about losing their houses just because their property values are high. I started that discussion, I have every right to shoot it full of empty holes and disappear it down the shithole it deserves to vanish into. 3) MY lessons to give. Your "later pleasure" is not a guarantee. You really like something, copy it somewhere else. I had presumed that anything I posted on Hubski I had the option of tearing down at a later date, just like every other forum on the planet. So long as I have the login, I have the killswitch. If I feel like denying the community my input in a scorched-earth retaliation for malfeasance, that's entirely my right. I'm here because I want to be. The minute I no longer want to be, my content comes with me.
