if a thread is closed, do everyone's posts not count toward post count.

Ming, from my experience with vB, it sometimes takes 2 or 3 times to delete a thread.

Now I ask your experience (I was never crooked enough to check ) If you posts get deleted 2 or 3 times if the above should occur

Yes, if it takes 3 attempts to delete a single post, your PC doesn't loose 1 but 3 posts (I think this is what you're asking).

So if you spam 20 posts in a thread and Ming needs 3 tries to delete that thread, the net result is that you loose 40 posts.

Think about that the next time you're spamming

Fortunately that doesn't happen as much with our new server.

[Hydey]

yes things seem to be working well around here

[Ming]

That used to happen a lot... but I can't even remember the last time it took more than one time to delete a thread...

That could mean 1 of 3 things:
1. You're getting senile and your memory is fading.
2. The server is working better.
3. Both 1 and 2

While there is a miniscule chance it's 3, 2 is the most likely possibility.

It's usually Rah that admits to senior moments.........but maybe he's just more honest.

Ahhh, good. No downside to "post before deletion" posts.

[mrmitchell]

speaking of deletion did Ming delete the "please delete this" thread? the one skywalker (?) made? this is whut i was talking about. i'm sure the entire world would have been thrilled to see my post with a picture of Nixon.

[Kuciwalker]

I was wondering about that...

[rah]

Yes, It's been quite a while since it took me more than once to delete a thread. I do remember a while back where it took me 6 times to delete one. I almost felt sorry for the people that had multiple posts in that one.

[DrSpike]

The operative word being 'almost'.

[rah]

I didn't have a post in that thread.

What makes the determination for you guys as to weather you close a thread or delete one?

[DrSpike]

How many posts the mod has in the thread.

Also, how spammy it gets.
