    Absolutely no deleting posts--here's why (and it has nothing to do with teaching people a lesson):

    If someone posts a question, and they get input from a dozen other people, answering their question, that's a good, valuable thread for newcomers to read. If they go back and delete their post, saying that the thread is now closed because the question was answered...a lot of that goes to waste. You may think people would not be this dumb, but I have seen it happen.

    The same is true of unlimited editing. I've seen people go back, delete their question, and replace it with a 'thank you, close the thread now' note. So, preventing people from deleting their posts or editing them past a certain date is one way to control the stupid and keep things a good resource for everyone. A bunch of answers out of context is annoying, and not useful.

    Now, I do have one suggestion--I do think that ads should have unlimited editing options. Editing doesn't 'bump' an ad, so it shouldn't count toward the number of ads a person is allowed to post, even if it changes completely. Editing will allow sold animals to be removed from the ad (which, at present, isn't possible).

    Please point out the part where it says

    Well I will clear any doubt if that helps yes you can make a request to have your post deleted but I can tell you the request will not be granted, members cannot delete their threads and the staff will not delete them either.

    Again it all comes down to being ACCOUNTABLE, if someone wishes to have something they posted deleted it shouldn't have been posted in the first place.

    People need to think twice before posting it's that simple if you don't than they need to own it.

    Editing will allow abuse and will allow animals that were not previously listed to be listed in the edited version (that would be an entirely new ad), if you want to show that the animal as sold all you have to do is bump animal sold, people do it everyday.

    I never said mods would delete it, I'm just saying that if you truly want it deleted, PM a mod and they'll delete it if they find it necessary, which might be never.

    You know how some people just won't let something go? They keep on trying to explain until it's not only irritating, but makes them look childish?

    You're there.

    just going to drop this, i think you should be able to Like and thank people, if you like something someone has said you can like, if you find the information useful you can Thank

    They are different.

    Thanks count as 1 Point each
    Reputation can me more than 1 Point (Depends on the rep power of the person giving the reputation point), reputation can be favorable or negative which mean points can be added or removed from your overall reputation.
