Rena I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings Level: 135 Posts: 1642/5390 EXP: 29075565 For next: 259440 Since: 07-22-07 Pronouns: he/him/whatever From: RSP Segment 6 Since last post: 342 days Last activity: 342 days

JL2 - Post #1642 - 11-29-07 02:49:29pm I've always found it best to simply mark deleted posts as "deleted" instead of actually removing them from the database. That way they can be restored if necessary. If you get a lot of spam, then you can remove them with an SQL query.
That wouldn't stop anyone from just editing them to be empty/stupid, though.  I think the best solution is to just require admins to use good passwords.____________________ Why not to buy from: Sony, Philips | The file Microsoft shut down my web site for How this layout should look | BSFree - Codes without the bullshit DS Homebrew | Hilarity | WTF | More hilarity | Free office suite | 7zip | NirSoft |

Just a idea ._. but obviously I guess we do not need to even do it.. |

I think HyperHacker's having a "isDeleted" flag in the database is the best approach here. That's how a lot of software packages we run at work do it, that way it's all still there, and you don't have to rely on backups. Plus it hardly takes up any space in the database (all you need is bit or bool whatever it's dubbed in mysql (although I think bools in mysql are actually smallint(1)).
Time limited deletion would just be a pain to code, and not worth the time of the coding. The isDeleted flag wouldn't take much time at all to code in, and is a perfect solution to the problem, unless the problem is someone with database access or if it's SQL injection (which is likely) but in any case, an isDeleted flag wouldn't be a bad feature to add in the long run. ____________________  |

| Wouldn't the database keep a record of the pre-edit post too though (somewhere)? ____________________ =================== [Posted by NightKev] |

| The reason why you're willing to put some effort in anything else but the board is a mystery.
