Deleted... with prejudice

Postby Galloism » Tue Jul 07, 2009 10:42 pm

Now, I know mods can delete someone, but you need a single button that allows them to simultaneously delete the person and delete all their posts. I suggest a "Delete - With Prejudice" button. In addition to the delete function, you can have it run a query to find all that user's posts, and return the reference numbers to an array. Then, you can simply execute the "delete post" function on each posts, by the reference number stored in the array.

What do you think?

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

In the pre-Jolt days we actually had that function. I can delete all of a users posts via the admin panel, though it's not connected to the mod centre like in ye olde dayes.

Ah, if that function already exists, then it's even easier. All they would have to do is create a button, and then upon clicking it execute two commands which already exist:

Remove all nation's posts
Delete nation

That's even easier than I had postulated.
