Title: Possible bug in stickied topics [answered]
Post by: Steamtyme on August 02, 2018, 01:45:32 PM
One of my topics was stickied and I try to keep an eye on it to maintain thread quality.

There is currently a post there, that is extremely poorly worded. So in trying to determine if it is a spammy bot, or just poorly worded I checked the post history, and noticed I'm able to delete the post from their post history.

Or at least am given the option, I haven't done so yet. I also haven't reported the post yet, because of this unique situation.

Anyone have any insight into this.

Here is the post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4636521.msg43332717#msg43332717)

Weird. You got a screenshot that you can delete it? I just posted a 'test' post in there so try delete that if you want.

After looking at this (http://archive.is/4bbNf#selection-3801.4-3801.57) I thought the same  :P

By any chance, sticky topics are self moderated?

Thanks for helping clear that up.

It gives me the option but once selected says I do not have permission.

Sorry, but you cannot remove these posts, even though they are replies to your topic.

Weird I guess I just never really noticed the delete option there in the past.

Edit: I can't post the screenshot yet, but it appears to be a non issue now.

Seems like it's a common feature...
If someone comment on your topic then on their post history page there will be a delete button for that post only.

i.e: pugman's post history (http://archive.is/0Rb1l) archived.

pugman made a comment on one of my topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4779921.msg43154825#msg43154825


The post history page of pugman and it shows me that I can delete it.


This comment (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4769005.msg43134368#msg43134368) has not made on any of my topic, so I can not see the delete button for this.

You hacked me.  >:(

Although archiving my post history won't prove anything as people need to be logged in.

This happens when you try deleting it:
