I think that every user should have admin privelages on thier own post. If someone is wasting my time, why can't I block them, and delete thier annoying messages? Check out my "Lets talk about girls..." post. When I'm done with that, it should fit onto a piece of paper.

Um, you could always delete it, start a new one, and pretend the whole thing never happened. A lot of people (besides myself) do it a lot. When the second reply to your post is negative, it's very, very likely that the rest will also follow the same tone.
Trust me, people would abuse admin priviledges on their own post. Especially me. If someone said "you suck" to me, I'd just splice it to make it look like he was talking to someone else. And if he whines about that, I'd just delete that post. Data editing is so much fun.

Great, fit it on a piece of paper, fold it into a paper plane and throw it out the window and hope it lands in some garbage mans crack where it belongs.

I didn't even think of editing when I wrote that comment. Seriously, you could easily splice another user's words on the DC. Especially the way people post around here. Reminds me of the good ol' days when I was an admin .
Besides, I don't think even the admins have rights to block people from a post. If they did, there would probably be an admin section or something.

Delete all the text of their post and have it replace with the reason why the author deleted it. Also have it able to be undone by an admin if it is deemed unreasonable.
Some "stfu noob" becomes "Message Deleted by Thread Author : Unrelated and Immature"

Yeah, good idea. Let the admins also have the priviledge to do that too. It'll explain a lot of the people talking about non-existent posts AND prevent admin oppression.

Yeah, I'd like that but no blocking or outright editing. The editing could be abused and blocking is just ridiculous.

LOL. The editing thing brings back memories of the TK forums .

This is a bad idea. Instead admins should edit/lock/delete posts in a thread. If a "bad" post (attack on someone, etc. you know what I mean) have been made, the admin should edit the post to "deleted by admin" or so and lock that post so the author could not edit it any more. The alternative could be to delete it interely.
That would keep threads on topic and reduce spam/nonsence/etc a lot.
Giving such rights to members would ultimately lead to massive abuse.
If someone abuses thier own post, don't post there. I dunno, maybe there could be a different colour for threads where the user does and doesn't have admin privilages. Maybe there could be some people who say, I'm not gonna post here unless you uncheck your privilages.

Or maybe everyone can just quit bitching and accept that not everyone is going to like everything everyone else has to say. If you're not mature enough to deal with a few annoying people on the internet spamming your thread, I shudder to think how you handle the real world.
Sorry Jon, but every new thread and post I've been seeing you put up since I've realized who you are as an entity has slowly, little by little, made me want to roll my eyes at you and think "What kind of a world does he think he lives in?"
I know you seem to be feeling rather picked on and out of the loop and deserve some power and respect, but... really... This one's kind of drawing near crazy. If you can't take the pressure and heat, don't post, or re-evaluate your approaches.
LOL I'd edit all Chambers' posts to - "I'm a whore bag, hear me get ass raped on 555-DUMBASS"

lol ash! he shoots, he scores.
jesus christ chambers, if i had tits (ohhh, the possibilities) then you would definitely be right on them by now. i've never heard such an absurd idea. what is the point of having admins if everyone could administrate their own posts! jesus, the mere concept boggles the mind.
you seem to have the crazy notion that if you start a post, you own it. well, you clearly don't. no one else thinks that. btw, not even admins can edit other user's messages.
If you'd all just stop treating Jon like an outcast and stop being such jerks to him, I'm such he wouldn't be pushed to think up such weird oddities of ideas to post so that you are pushed and forced to bang your heads against a bunch of walls until they splatter open and drool and drip down to the floor.
I'm sure I haven't been checking the boards since the whole Jon Is Stupid And Posts Crap started, unless it started with the whole Click Cash thing, but it's something to consider, seeing as how his second Girls thread and this thread were both started in the event of being picked on by all of you. Why aren't the admins doing their jobs anyway? Oh right, they're too busy joining in with the bullies instead of moderating things and editing, deleting unnecessary comments, and generally keeping things under control.
CRUSH!!

without meaning to sound harsh, chamzel, he doesn't seem to get the message any other way.
Chamzel:
Jon has been making flameable threads for years. I guess nobody took him seriously after he started that thread on religion. I think it's been banished from the DC database, but if you're lucky, you can still find a few notes. I still wanna quote him on his first post in that thread about everyone being potential converts or something .
I still agree with this suggestion by Ashman:
"Delete all the text of their post and have it replaced with the reason why the author deleted it. Also have it able to be undone by an admin if it is deemed unreasonable."
I'm sick of seeing people talk about non-existent posts .

Oh, I remember my post about religion. Half the posts were genuine. Then there was Ashman starting trying to start world war III. There was some serious talk from athiests and some serious talk from christians. That was a cool post. Though, there was this guy, who'd post there every day telling me to delete it, because it was wasting space. I thought he was stupid, because TDC clearly had plenty of space, and most of it was being used by threads people never felt like deleting. It still doesn't make sense to me why he would keep coming back, telling me to delete, while I was getting such a good response from people. I figured that I don't read posts I don't like, so why should he? So he's read it once, a bit of time was wasted reading it, so what? He won't get that time back by deleting it. Though one day, I checked the boards, and the post wasn't there.
If I do have a bad reputation, that's where it came from.

Actually if memory serves, I was 100% serious for that post. That was before my self esteem crumbled. I had my chinese whispers theory remember...

I bet 5 DC points he will continue to read this pointless load of crap. Anyway, Ashman, maybe I was confusing it with another time you tried to start world war III. Yeah, that was a cool post. I miss it. If the admins didn't delete it, I'd still be posting there.
May I ask what can crumble the self esteem of a master game creator? (BTW, I didn't like Pacman 2000, and I defeated n&c on hard.)

Thanks for bringing up two of my most disgraceful games EVER! Really appreciate that.
I mean, I used to have credibility and even a little dignity. A schmuck of a father and some not so pleasant high school experiences changed me a bit over the last year or so. I'm happy with the change... made me tougher! GRR!
