How did your forum set thread delete permissions?

I have a question. Do other forums give you permission to delete?

How did your forum set thread delete permissions?

I am preparing to run the forum.

Leave many comments.

No, I do not let users delete their own threads. I also only allow editing of posts for 15 minutes.

I let my users soft-delete their own threads, in case they posted something by accident etc. But no-one (not even admins) have permissions to hard-delete.

Why did you set it up for 15 minutes?

Does the soft-deleted thread move to another node?

Does the soft-deleted thread move to another node?

No, it keeps it where it is. Although Moderators go through every so often as part of their duties manually moving deleted / dead threads into a hidden 'Trash' node.

If there are many threads, the moderator has many threads to move. Do you have a tool that does this smoothly?

No, but sadly we don't have the problem of many threads either

Yes...T. T

I did not understand what hard deletion is.
But when I heard your answer, I realized. Thank you.

Varied edit/delete post window, depending on post count / user group.

0-5 posts - 30 minutes
5-19 posts - 1 hour
20-199 posts - 8 hours
200+ posts - 2 days

Users can't delete threads, because it would affect others' posts.

Have you registered promotions based on the number of posts?

 

[Dan Blather]

Have you registered promotions based on the number of posts?

Yes. Groups are based on post count -- 0-5 posts, 5-19 posts, 20-100 posts, 200+ posts. Points/trophies does not affect a user's group or title. There's no payment for advancement or "freemium" membership.

I will register the promotion as your advice.
Thank you. ^^

My advice is to remove the hard delete option from everyone, including yourself and any other moderators.

I have seen too many unrecoverable errors over the years with that permission enabled.

You can always enable it on a per need basis.

Thank you for answer. I am going to disable hard deletion.

These are the user privileges for different groups, in case you want to use them as a guide. Glad to help!
