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 fuck; up the stats tracking

I don't agree with this.

Either allow deleting or turn off deleting for everybody.

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 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"

and furthermore the new rules actually will be gdpr-compliant girl;

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.

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
