Would it be possible to give directors the ability to delete threads that are no longer relavent to the agency? (I don't know how hard it would be to do, but some of ours need to be deleted)

I agree with elsey. Some things remain relevant, but there are posts on there that are just taking up space now.

I play other rpgs and they have deletion buttons. I definitely would support a delete button, even if just for directors to use. I wouldn't know how hard that would be to do either. Maybe you could do this Ben?

I'm not saying we have to be able to delete a particular reply, I just want to be able to delete whole threads in our message boards. We have like 8 pages of threads, and we never look past page 2 (and that's on a rare occasion).

So, based on the lack of enthusiasm on this issue, I will assume it's not going to happen.

i am relatively new to the agency thing, and I agree 200%.. there are so many threads like 'welcome our newest new member' from 4 months ago. it makes it hard to find the useful stuff.

the option to delete an entire thread would be great and probably the most desireable, but I tihnk if it is possible and not too difficult, that the individual option (for the directors only) would be really useful..

I am enthused. I have asked before about more control over the message board. We even asked Ben to whipe it completely clean at some point.

1. Delete.
2. Edit
3. Organize.

the organise part is interesting - do you mean something along the lines of allowing up to 3 threads to be fixed at the top of the list? (ie ones that are used frequently)

If so then I would agree because there are two or three threads that our agency uses a lot,and they often get lost in amongst the 'welcome new member' and 'how do i ' kind of threads.

Someone needs to go down to them and reply to it so it can be promoted to the top..

For instance. Or have folders with certain threads in them. Or threads that can only be accessed by directors, or can only be posted to by directors (read and write rights inherently.)

I like the folder idea for putting threads into categories, rather than having them all jumbled together.

I also like the idea of being able to delete threads that are no longer useful. Though they do fall to the bottom, who needs them there?

Plus, it would be nice to have a place to post rules, policies, advice to newcomers, etc., where the information didn't keep sliding towards the bottom - more like a physical bulletin board.

I suppose folders could address that issue as well.
