2/13/2025: Localization News - Cosmic Fantasy 3-4!

Rather earth-shattering news in the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 community: Cosmic Fantasy 3 & 4 has been officially localized to English by Edia 30 years later for the Switch! Hard to believe! I know their script quality is poor given the 1&2 port but still good to see.

It's been suggested non-moderators should not be able to delete their own posts, and I'm beginning to agree.

The problem arises when a user deletes one of his/her posts, and it's the first post in a thread. This removes the entire thread.

There was also a situation where an ex-member quoted a current member, edited the quote, and then deleted the thread (because his post was the first one) so all evidence of what the current member had actually said was gone. All that was left was the edited misquote.

Bottom line, I think the ability to delete posts and threads should be for moderators and admins only. Users being able to edit their own posts is sufficient-- this will prevent entire threads from disappearing if someone decides to have a temper tantrum.

Agreed.  If someone wants to delete their post, they can edit it instead.

Done.  Regular members cannot delete ANY post now, only edit.
