Purging

[sindroms]

Explain please how deleting threads helps when posts had been maliciously edited?
And why deleting anyways is still the question. Turning them invisible isn't an option?

It is a tool that is used in cases where there are reasons to believe that a member has edited their older posts to contain material that they were banned for. For players who cheat, for example, it would prevent them from editing their first post from years ago to include a full tutorial on how to cheat, had anyone bothered to go ''Who was this guy?'' and tried to look for their posts.

There is no option to invisible all existing posts, only newly made ones - a form of punishment.
In short, the idea that it would impact other roleplays was obvious, but it was done with the idea that certain sections worth of posts can be restored from the backup.


Which turned out was not how the forum works, no.
Really, all I can do is offer my sincerest apologies for the players affected by this punishment, as I was the one to suggest it in the first place.
