Deleting board members - Page 2

No way. When you say something, you can't later go back and have the mind police come and erase your words. You say it, it's gone.

I'm really hard core on this issue. We all say things that need to be moved, deleted, or edited now and then. That's not unusual at all, but to ask a board to remove EVERY post and all record of a person't existance - especially if they are a problem - is not going to happen. Stop posting if you don't want things of yours read.

I find that a lot of people make this request because they have stromed off and are trying to force themselves to stay away.

It's a request that is never granted. Your message board should have a disclaimer informing posters that all submissions are property of the message board to avoid later copyright claims, this also gives you freedom to reuse the content should you wish.

I like €uro's suggestion- maybe we could help the editing process?

How about if you replace his words with a parody of his words? Alls fair in Satire right?

Wouldn't deleting messages be a whole lot of work? I know that some sites have the technology available for a person to not only delete their posts, but delete their accounts as well. I'm a member of a site that is hosted by an Internet company called Proboards, which operates this way. However, when an account is deleted, either by the person themselves, or by a moderator who has banned them from the site, their posts still remain...they just have the title of "Guest" underneath them.

I think you're hoping for impossible odds to truly delete a person from a website. There's always going to be SOME trace of them.

But, for your sake, LS, I hope you can reach common ground with this person and make some compromises so that you can both get some closure (if that's the right word).
