Should you be allowed to delete your own video?

There was one time when I actually accidentally logged into someone else's account and didn't realize it wasn't mine until I'd entered a vid. I didn't actually upload it, but it was still a pain in the ass. I'd have to vote in favor of being able to delete videos.

...

I'd also like to be able to edit posts...

Yes.

I'd like that option.

Actually I thought it was possible since there's a lot of old videos with 'NO' [in the download options]...soo....how'd that come to be?

Easy: they never uploaded it in the first place.

The local video server only came around in 2003 (shortly after my join date), after all.

Suffice it to say that if someone were to make a habit of that, all their future delete requests would go to /dev/null.

[Oh, and we keep a copy of the file, and actually it isn't even deleted off Kero right now.... So if we decided to audit it, we'd catch this]

How come Tom the Fish was allowed to delete all of his files off Local, then...?

Yes, but we're not allowed to tell you.

lol, fair enough but i think i just figured it out. But back on ths subject i would like the ability to edit posts and to delete videos or atleast if you never actually uploaded one, can you remove that profile?, cuase i've done that because when i was about to uploadone of my vid's it wasn't ready so that'd be nice
