Absolutely not.

i want to make it clear while we're at it that, for statistical and historic reasons at the very least, we (i) do not and will never endorse mass deletion of posts, again unless there is just cause for doing so

if anyone wants to engage in mass editing/deletion of old posts for reasons we don't approve of, we won't necessarily stop you but you'll have to do it yourself, one painstaking post at a time

you all know that you have the power to delete your own posts, but abuse it and you will lose it because it really does up the stats tracking

should we replace all instances of with

No

thank you for being the first person to finally address the original inquiry lol

[don't let's]

I'll go back and edit my own posts and anyone who asks then

But then you'd have to worry about quoted posts

but abuse it and you will lose it

I don't agree with this.

Either allow deleting or turn off deleting for everybody.

But you are presently allowed to delete.

What's up with those anyway? How did they come about?

About the abuse it and lose it part

i guess they're just variants of those emotes that were never publicly seen before boyah 2.0 lol

i mean you'd have to do something p. drastic like indiscriminately delete dozens of posts in a short period of time before we might consider it "abuse", and even then we'd take a case-by-case approach lol

if i run for mayor u better delete my posts or i'll move to the EU before i run and then make u cucks do it via gdpr

[Kalahari Inkantation]

if ever anyone on boyah becomes a public figure we'll definitely take such special circumstances into consideration lol, that would almost certainly qualify as "just cause"

[Kalahari Inkantation]

and furthermore the new rules actually will be gdpr-compliant

But that's what I don't agree with. If deletion is allowed somebody should be able to indiscriminately delete their own posts or all of them whenever they want. Nobody should be stopped from deleting their own posts unless you're going to disallow deletion all together.  

[Kalahari Inkantation]

the more deletions there are the less accurate the post tracking stats become, which is why i'm okay with limited deletions under certain circumstances (and would prefer editing to outright deletion) but generally against mass post purging

it's less a matter of opinion and more about mitigating the magnitude of damage to boyah's clerical functions lol
