Title: Delete button
Post by: botany on February 20, 2015, 02:27:00 AM
When I go to any person's profile and look at his last posts, I see a "delete button" next to the posts made by that person in threads I have started. These threads are not self-moderated.

If I click on the delete button, I get the following pop-up  "Remove this message?"
If I click yes, I get the following message
"An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry, but you cannot remove these posts, even though they are replies to your topic.
"

Is this a bug? Why should the delete button be visible at all, if it is not a self-moderated thread?

May be it just a bug, because only mod and global mod can delete a reply post in not a self moderated thread

It's a test to see who will try to delete posts that they're not allowed to delete. You failed. ;)

It's a bug (or maybe an intentional optimization) that always exists in SMF AFAIK, but it's a very minor issue, so I never fixed it.
