Right to be forgotten
Admiral688:
The right to be forgotten is an EU concept. If it's existence is public due to your actions and under your control, then you should be able to remove your own material (post, story etc). It's game over once you ceed control to someone else, as they should be entitled to the right to remember. It's a stupid first world problem. If you can't take the heat, then stay out of the kitchen.
Well Fed Games:
On a practical level, I've learned from broken links and such that if someone posts something you might find useful in a current or future build, make a local copy of it. This is just another good reason to keep that in mind. My 2 cents- people should have the option to delete their stuff but it is a pretty lame move considering the collaborative atmosphere here. But I get that LT was in a bad headspace. If this forum can ever be useful to him again I hope he comes back, and if he lurks... hey man :cheers: for being part of our island of misfit arcade cabs.

I am open to suggestions on any changes to make. I'll add a couple of things to the mix:
I have changed people's usernames before at their request when they've wanted to scrub their Internet presence. In that case the content remained, but the name no longer related.
I have modified or removed very old posts before when someone had a similar situation but no longer had access, again at their request. I was able to do so in a way that minimized the effect on the thread.
pbj:
You have also put posts back on the forum that you were explicitly asked to leave deleted.
:cheers:

I did, and after you asked me not to a second time I refrained. I'm of a mixed mind on this issue personally. (I also will not be restoring LT's posts unless he tells me it's OK to do so.)
