Gabriel Isodo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Is there a way to delete old posts or discussion after a while. I don't want that my message stay forever on the web. Is there an option to delete after x days. I would like to delete my old message older than one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriele Graves Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 No there isn't any way. Only moderators can delete posts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to delete my old message older than one year. not to scare you .. but have a look here ( http://forums-archive.secondlife.com/-1/1.html) .. nearly all is saved since first years of SL .. it's really amazing to read that all back! Unless you ask for a GDPR removal your, mine, and all other accounts posts will be there long after we'r not found anymore on this earth. It's the same as for your RL identity, all you put on the web will/can stay on the web. note; the old forums won't open easely on Edge, the protection protocols refuse that, on Firefox it's opening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Legion Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 No. Own your words, explain why things are different if need be, let whatever changes have occurred since those posts speak for themselves. Don't want your posts/messages to stay "forever" on the Internet, don't use it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you said something you feel embarrassed about today most mature individuals know that people can change and hold different opinions or behave differently than they did in the past. Of course there will be a few that do a 'gotcha' and attempt to berate you by pointing to something you did long ago, but they are in the minority really. You can easily defend against such an assault by asserting the right to change your mind. Edited February 10 by Luna Bliss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 "Forever" is a long time. Probably when the Earth is swallowed by the Sun as it expands prior to going supernova, the internet as we know it will cease to exist along with any associated data such as Forum posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I did have another thought: What about countries where there is a 'Right to be forgotten'? My thought, this is probably intended to be about a person's internet posts, etc. under their "actual (RL) identify". In Second Life and in the Forums - you are NOT supposed to use your RL identify (but you "can" and some "do"). So maybe it does not apply..? And if someone was worried about RL details revealed, possibly "Sorry, you aren't supposed to use your RL identity, so it's your own darned fault." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having RL info in a post would be a legitimate reason to ask for its removal, and I'm pretty sure the Lab would comply in that sort of case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PheebyKatz Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I now have every post ever made by the OP archived in triplicate, and stored in globally separate locations, known only to myself, and my secret cabal. If not for this thread, I would never have realized what a fortune I stand to make in the future, having this valuable information. If anyone else wants it, it's on archive.org. I don't think you have anything to be that paranoid about. I'll bet I've made far more embarrassing, disturbing, even wretched posts on the internet for a couple of decades now, and I'm fine. BRB, someone's knocking really loud on the front door... We didn't order takeout, so I wonder who the heck it could be. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmoe Whitfield Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I run one of the largest car forums on the internet, deleting every post a user has made is work for forum admins, if the user wants deleted, we can delete the account and the posts still stay but under the guise of "guest account" or "unregistered" . but SL and the forum here are a bit different from a normal database standard, it's tied into SL directly with that database so it pulls the data from it, using the username and password SL uses, if it was fully stand alone and they made people register for the forum directly instead of linking the database like they do, then it would be like I said at the start. not sure how that works purging it off a forum with the setup LL has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on your PERMANENT RECORD! Your permanent record is larger than you think. A few months ago, I ran across an old BBS I used to dial into, in middle school, in the early 90s, before the WWW. They still had posts from when I was in middle school! I was a weird kid. So I checked newsgroups. My posts are still there, too! AOL Towns and Myspace are totally wiped, thank god... although I suspect the NSA logged all that stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingrid Ingersoll Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Threads where anything of any substance is discussed usually are locked after 2 pages. Or earlier. Moral of the story...keep it light and stupid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
