@baris Yes. I see also that there is a problem for some other pages like /search ... I will see if I can get it work for all (I thought there were just one place/hook to parse title for all uses but it's not the case).
Stop Users Deleting Topics

@psychobunny said in Stop Users Deleting Topics:
It's set to zero and they can still delete both their own AND other peoples' posts!
When it's set to zero, it's disabled.
What I was thinking was adding a new option where
if replies > X, prevent deletion of the topic- so if you set it to 1 for example, after the first reply the topic won't be able to be deleted unless it's an admin/modYes, that would work great. I totally get wanting to be able to delete before anyone responds. But better to block that than to have busy threads with lots of effort put into them just vanish on users.

In the meantime, have a look at the other setting I mentioned - if you set it to something reasonable like 5 minutes I think that would be a decent stopgap.

What would that change? We've not seen any deletions quickly, they are much later. Wouldn't five minutes only make it easier to delete other things?

If you set it to 5 minutes, then after 5 minutes you would not be able to delete your post. Definitely what you really need is the GH issue I mentioned above. Expect that in 1.1.2

amazing work
can this be extended to user delete? deleting user should delete only his own post but not entire threads or give options to several situations probably

Will look into this. Backend already has support for this I think.

We just block user deletion. We dont want all of their posts reverting to "guest" or disappearing. That's more complex. It makes threads make no sense and is very confusing if it changes after it has been there.

we do too, but if someone ask for account deletion we have to delete it
we could have some options like
1- deleting user deletes all, topic and posts ( current situation )
2- deleting user deletes account and change all his post to guest account owner so you keep topics and posts of other people
3- deleting user delete his posts but no topicsthank you

Or the most important, for us anyway, delete the account but don't delete anything and dont change the account name to guest. Maybe anonymize the name, but don't change to guest, that breaks conversations. We've had that happen and it doesn't work. You can't follow the quotes any longer. Deleting their account does not imply deleting their identify, those are different things. OTherwise, account deletion can be used for sabotage (and we've seen that.)

yeah, thats another option, i only gave some example

@exodo said in Stop Users Deleting Topics:
deleting user delete his posts but no topics
this option will leave topics in a state of no context/continuation

Yes, that woudl normally be a disaster and needs to be carefully controlled. Offering it, fine, but definitely provide a warning.
-
best approach is what @scottalanmiller said, delete account but keep topic and post maybe with and alias user465 with the id of that account
another option should be the current one, delete all
