I can't get into https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/182485/black-friday-cyber-monday-official-megathread-flash-sale-2022/p1 it says:

Permission Problem
You don't have permission to do that.

Anyone else with this issue?

This is intentional until @FAT32 decides that it's ready

This one should be updated. @DP already is an admin. His profile link doesn't appear to be working as well.

Doesn't really matter to me

I updated it - It was just because of the "/".

I think whomever gave you the warning linked directly to the reason.

Great to violate the rules, right?

Don’t be a dick.

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." - Don't do things that decades of netiquette have shown to be offensive. Don't be "That Guy". Don't break the rules. When in doubt, just don't.

There will always be new ways to cause trouble for people within a community, and they can’t all be listed one by one. Intent isn’t always impossible to judge, and it isn’t always relative. The administrators and the moderators are the judges, respect their requests when you are told that you have stepped out of line.

Decreases the size of the end of the funnel that new users come in through for little benefit, IMO. Threads already stay on page one for a long time, so there's no excess of threads.

Great

Regarding drafts:

https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3418274/#Comment_3418274

(Click on the "X" in the upper-right corner)

Note that you need to use desktop mode for this to work

Does this help?

That helps me delete them 1 by 1, which I did. What would be better is if there were no drafts in the first place, so they are never created.

I guess that in general, the functionality of drafts is considered desirable. (I personally find this functionality useful)

But I find the method for deleting drafts not so obvious

Well, that may be, but I guess more control over it would be the solution. It should probably be disabled by default at user level, and if enabled, drafts should expire after 24 or 48 hours and automatically be deleted.

It would probably be quite elementary to run a cron job that removes stale drafts globally
