The Question and Answer Board

[Mattu]

Fourth, Zeev has a sweet little tool that he might not even know about yet. He has a delete button for this board. He can whack any posts that shouldn't be here. A duplicate post, personal attack, spam, whatever. It's his house. His rules.


>>Matt, this question is no reflection on Zeev whom I read daily ....
But can I take from your quote that someone can establish a thread on IHUB, make posts, then change them or delete posts of others after the fact ?<<

This is one that has been beat to death. There is no way possible for anybody to edit any post outside of their 15 minute window. There is a 24 hour (or 48, correct me Bob) window for message to be deleted. After that, if they haven't caused a problem, there must not be anything wrong with them. Therefore, no altering of trading records that kind of thing.


>>I would think this could lead to some unsavory uses of certain threads.<<

Of course it could. that's why it has the restrictions it does and every post passes through me before it is officially gone. And that's why it doesn't lead to anything bad.
