That said, if you want to roll dice in your setup PT to arrange your game, feel free. Just don't assume it's foolproof when/if someone questions you on it.


The only way I know of, and feel free to tell me if there is another, is to delete the post in question. And even that doesn't actually work. We backup deleted posts.

For you, hopefully. at the moment all admins can see all PTs, and when I'm not in games I'll likely also periodically be in that group to make sure everything's working right and not being abused.

Yes.

Unless they have editing powers in the forum. (me, admins).

Not hard but I also have no plans to do so atm.

There is a minor tweak that I need to push live at some point. Otherwise I have no intention to work on changing the background. Others are welcome to.

You aren't asking for permission to design a game. You are asking for permission to use a potentially abusable site feature to do so.

How exactly is it abusable? Someone might create too many topics?

I really don't get it.
I personally probably wouldn't care all that much about the abuse. But I think the primary concern is cliches forming private discussion groups.

Jeep and Meme are gone-gone. Mith may have periods of inactivity, but he still owns this site and is still around more than not I'd say.

Editing permissions are decided at the forum level. It would be very little work to turn them on for all PTs, but then, I don't see why someone should be allowed to edit posts in PTs more than they should be allowed to in a mafia game.

I have no intentions of doing the coding required to add topic level editing permissions.

Yes they all were. Try hard refreshing (ctrl f5 in most browsers). This is a first draft, I understand it has some readability issues on certain skins, working through them when I have time.
