Deleting a post

[J E Custom]

Hello Len.

I have a question. I posted on a thread, and the OP threatened to delete my post. Is this possible for a member to do this ?

There was no derogatory remarks or bad language and my post was an effort to help prevent the OP from over stressing a cartridge case and possibly injure him self.

I know that inappropriate or adversarial post can and should be deleted. But post that may not agree with someone else, But based on their experience is the main reason for posting questions in the first place.

It is my opinion that members should not be aloud to alter the thread just because they don't agree. Only you or your representative should in my opinion

Not targeting anyone just wanted to know if this was possible because there have been several post that have been deleted and normally you note why.

Thanks
Jerry @ J E CUSTOM

Try it out for yourself, I know on at least one of my threads I can.

Can you delete mine?

Dang, so you offered sound advice and got threatened instead? I'd like to say I'm surprised but I'm not, world ain't like it used to be.

I always appreciate your informative posts and advice.


Stay safe

A couple of us got deleted for obscure reasons. OP asked for lots of comments, and then found a delete button I didn't and still don't know where its located.

He has referred back to his original question a couple of times, and rereading the question doesn't support his position.

When I see a poster quiet for so many years come in with such antics, I suspect hacking, and trolling.

J E, I've read most of your posts.
I suggest you look into the ignore button, it's going serve you better than the delete button.
Always appreciate your posts, doesn't matter if I agree with them or not, they are always respectful.
There are more and more armchair quarterbacks, I won't name names, but they aren't hard to find.

Not sure how this feature got enabled, but it's disabled now.

I was deleted with JE and HARPERC on the same thread. I was shocked that this was possible since I've not seen this happen before.

Thanks Chris for disabling this feature.

Thanks . I actually like apposing positions because they give me an option that I may have not thought of. I would hate to see this kind of censoring from someone I don't even know and don't realize that they are the one that looses.

Thank you Chris.
It is not my website and I feel I don't have a right to delete anything but My own post.

That is and has been the Administrators or Len's right and it has worked very well since I joined
back in 2004 and has been the one constant that has made this the best site for those that like to do what we do and enjoy hearing opinions and experiences from all the members

Again , Thanks Chris

Not on my account, more energy than it warrants. I actually laughed when it was just me, I did get a bit bent when I saw JE deleted, I've learned so much from him. Glad to see the feature disabled.

Here is the thread Chris.

.375 H&H Brass to .340 Weatherby Brass Conversion Question

JE, I am sorry but you are becoming a serious problem on this thread. I am trying to get conversion data, and you have countless times repeated yourself on an issue that is beat to death and distracting from the thread. Below are the 340 and 375 specs from SAAMI that you could have found merely...
