Title: Post deleted in locked topic
Post by: escrow.ms on May 17, 2014, 09:44:52 PM
This thread is locked but I was able to delete my post.

I thought it's not allowed but doesn't that means scammers can use it to delete their posts in locked topics.
ie: they can delete old bitcoin address, pics, or any other info they have posted about them in past.

Ps: It's not a big issue but in my opinion, shouldn't be allowed

Even if they can delete the posts, they're not lost forever. A copy of their post will most likely be visible on https://www.bitcointa.lk

There is probably a cached version both held by the forums and also held by the magical thing known as the internet, however, assuming the thread isn't very young.

I couldn't even edit one of my posts in a locked thread last time I tried.

Admins can see all edits and deleted posts.

Editing of post is not allowed in locked thread, but deleting is... till date.

This varies from board to board.

I didn't even know that existed.

Why in the holy sideways fuck don't we have forum software like what bitcointa.lk has?!?

Probably because a) new forum software is being developed and b) the community is currently very used to SMF compared to other platforms such as XenForo.

c)The current code is modified for extra security while keeping the functionality.

Well, bitcointa.lk would be hacked much more often than this forum has. The one that gets more attention is the one always getting attacked.
