Without even doing that, you still get a major difference.

Karma is implicitly per user, not per post.

I'm personally not sure about FB compatibility there, but I can see why people would want it to be so.

The bulk of the reason is architectural, rather than anything else; there's nowhere else in SMF to store arbitrary-size, per-user information other than in the theme options area.

I can also see a few of the options actually being worthwhile to have the different options but the vast bulk, no.

And the change/don't change... ick.

So can I. It remains to be seen what they're going to do next, of course.

Start on SMF, then port to Wedge later.

It's a permission. It can be revoked. I'll say no more about it at this juncture.

This is SMF we're talking about. The drama never ends.

Currently I am not permitted to edit or remove my posts. And there is conversation telling me how disappointed they are, etc.

Don't they read this though? wouldn't they know by now and try to stop you?
Apparently not...

Yeah but if he does that people would notice
That's the thing. It needs to be done slowly because overnight it would easily be noticed and would instantly cause an uproar. So far, my count is down to 42k and no-one seems to have noticed yet.

The SMF team would argue that 40k, out of 2.8M, is just about 0.015% of the total post count...
Yes, but a decent amount of my 40k posts were useful :P

Not that it'll be much different here once we release ourselves...
I think making the admin panel more sane will resolve a great many things on that score, actually.

I've done something similar in a forum, Arantor. I've prepared a php script to manage that... What kind of script did you wrote to accomplish the deletion?
I was doing it by hand, since writing a script to log in to sm.org as me seemed like hard work :lol:

Why the delete or why the violation of the CLA?

The latter is because the CLA protects things that 'discuss or improve the Work'. So if they want to preserve it they will have to do some work.

The former is complicated. I'm not allowed to link to Wedge generally, nor allowed to mentioned it really, under threat of moderation.

Since I dislike these rules, and have no real way of protesting the time I otherwise spent, I'm doing the only thing I can do about it. Note that I'm removing older ones first.

Besides, I figure people are going to notice my post count going down once it really starts to go down.

That, and the fact that butchs, in his self righteous, pigheadedness called me a troll more than once for suggesting things in his mod's threads, that I have no imagination and resort to stealing his ideas. That really just cemented it, though.

That, and the Silence in the Library episodes, quite good ones.
Blink, Girl in the Fireplace, and the Library episodes were all written by Steven Moffat, the current lead writer ;)
