I was wondering why the user delete posts is turned off @ the Dev?
Also, Does this (having it turned on) pose a security risk or problems in any way?

I noticed that it is turned on at IPop. Just wondering why you had it off here?
Any negatives?

Just Curious
Thank You.

Well if a member has been naughty, they can't get rid of the evidence, and also if an account is compromissed all they can do is just post with the nick, but if delete power is on, they can reak havoc deleting another users posts...

I see. Well, I wanted to look at the advantages vs. disadvantages before I decided to turn this on for my site. I see where you are coming from. I do appreciate your response.


Thank You!
