Its very common on here for two of the same threads competing with each other. You also get loads of the same threads but with slightly different wording.

It's not a very big problem. It happens because either people want their own thread for their thing, or they didn't see the other thread (by not using the search). One of the threads will get locked by a moderator. If not, one will die away by the forum monster eater at page 9999.

You are posting information on a website owned by a company who is letting you post for free. If anything, it technically becomes their 'stuff', not yours. They'll decide what stays and what goes and that's fine by me and just about the rest of us.

I still don't get it you're not making much sense. I'm guessing you want to be able to delete threads you made?
Just press the report button or PM a mod if you want your post or thread deleted.

Dude do i really have to explain this to you again....its not about the one little thing its about the whole thing..not being able to change the name of the topic and stuff like that...if you dont get it now i am sorry but theres no way anyone can explain it clearer and you should probably find another topic cause you oblivously dont undertand this one sorry for being mean but i hate having to rerepeat myself

I don't think threads can get deleted by request. They'll probably just get locked, unless there's some bad stuff on the thread (like, illegal stuff with a bunch of links all over the place).





Changing the name of the topic would be fine with me. It's not really needed though. All the other stuff, I don't think so.

You'll find very few people anywhere who agree with you. If you question is answered then it should stay in place for others to see. Perhaps the people who were able to answer it won't be available in the future and won't be able to answer it for others.

Forum topics are like discussions. You may have sparked the discussion, but you would never tell a group of people to stop talking about something you suggested (unless they're in your house and you're tired of it), so the same goes for forums. If you aren't interested in it anymore then you can ignore it. It's only your concern as long as you have any interest in it. If you don't like the opinions of others, that's your problem and yours alone. Nobody is going to help you censor others because of that.

Systems that work like you described tend not to include as many interesting discussions. This, and what I said about the availablity of answers is why forums are almost always designed so a topic starter has no special control unless they are also a moderator.

Well if you want to change the name of your thread (or anything else) then PM a mod.

The cool thing about this site is not having control over your threads. If you could change the name of your topic then people may not find it again if they tried to search for it. There was only one time I needed to change the title of my thread and a mod did it for me shortly after I asked. It gives the mods something to do because I mean really they don't have the Skyrim thread or anything to watch ever... I mean they're practically bored because we're so well behaved here. *Reads the replies to this thread and retracts last statement.

If you change the topic of the thread, you can potential shift the entire context of it. I get what you're saying, you want to be able to edit the subject in case there's a spelling or grammatical error, but for future reference: don't post it unless you're 100% satisfied.

Beth's forums, Beth's rules.

Administrating forums is hard work, but unless they are controlled they turn into absolute nightmares...and as this is Beth's official corporate forum, they really can't afford that to happen, particularly seeing it's a 'family friendly' site.

I understand your point of view, but as I said, it's Beth's trainset and they can set it up how they like. Regardless of what anyone thinks, you have no rights.

Kay r u listening to me its not about Deteleting THE POSTS!!!!!! And again so what dude if i make something i should be able to do what i want with it...within boundaries of course.ARE you ppl even reading what i am saying cause you just keep repeating yourselfs...if you have nothing to say that logical and no what someone else said plz post if you wanna cause keep reposting what others post..i will make a topic just for you.

That being said, isn't Bethesda's forums a much more civil and stable place to discuss gaming topics? There's very little for anyone to complain about.

thank you for not repeating someone and using logic. I amk not saying that they should have control i am just saying theres things they can improve on thats all..like everything else they have room to improve and i am just helping them out.

Be aware that it is you who thinks there's room for improvement. Every member who has responded to your post disagrees. Your opinion is just that and nothing more. Say whatever you want, but you'll get no sympathy from us.

It would be nice, but all of these could, and would be, be exploited.

Capital is right.

I'm a long standing member of Creative Assemblies forums, and a few years back they opened up to allow people to have open slather on their avatars and sigs...in all honesty, it took nearly a month to clean up the mess...some people were absolutely disgusting with what they came up with, and it caused no end of problems. Now they have a very strict limitation on what you can and can't do.

Discussions can get out of hand very quickly, even on these boards, which is why there is a fairly heavy level of moderation, which is considerably more cut-throat around the time of a game's release, due to the workload....but on the whole, these forums are well moderated and well controlled, and well behaved.

While I would agree that it would be nice to be able to edit much of our own stuff, people would abuse it...it is the internet, after all.

Well, you can't ever say that. Certain rights people have regardless of what the entity setting up a website thinks. For example they can't decide to exclude people based on race.

Anyway, what this guy is arguing is that the rules are bad. There may be bad rules around here, but the lack of editorial control OPs have over their topics certainly doesn't count as one.

And I would disagree that there are any bad rules around here. It's all about preference. I've been here for quite some time and will stay here soley based on the rules they have established that keeps the peace. I can be silly and goof around but it's not out of control and insulting. If I want to talk about certain things that aren't allowed, there are places to do so, but this is the place that I can go and talk with mostly intellectual people. I can come here with problems with my technology or search the previous threads and find solutions to all sorts of things because things are kept in proper order.

I dont want simpathy especialy from you bro and i could really care less of your opinion.which i think you have made clear more then enough times now your just trying to be a imature brain dead jerk

I didn't insult you, so why do you have to throw names around just because I don't agree? You've earned yourself a report.

i couldnt agree more with you but i can dream cant i

so have you

Where?

If you have read the legal terms and condition they set being overly negative and bullying is against rules
