Seriously SW, WT actual F ?!?! 😡🤬


Apparently there’s a limit to how many comments I can delete on my own post?!
What is the reason for this limit and when did this go into effect??

Oh man.. what’s the limit? 😳
Interesting... I was just wondering yesterday if it was possible to mass clear our old posts and start fresh. I didn't know they imposed limits

@DancingStarGoddess well now we both know ☺😊
@DancingStarGoddess yeah they won't allow you to purge anything. I've done purgings before and it takes several days.
@greensnacks oh wow 😲 I wondered when I first came back what was up with all the "archive this and that" I was like wait no, I want this gone!

Or just delete the post.

@BillyMack I was actually just deleting comments on my whiteboard and I don’t want to delete the whole thing.
BillyMack · 46-50, M
@GoldnJulz ahhhh. Ok. That makes a whole lot more sense. My bad.

@BillyMack no worries at all I should have better described things. ☺😊

Article 5, Section 4, Paragraph 11, Subsection 3, Section 7, Paragraph 12, Section 5, Subsection 4 says "You can only delete 20 items at a time."

It’s a question of how much you delete within a certain timespan. It’s not new.

@SUPERVlXEN Thank you. I just learned that it’s not new. I don’t know how I did not run into this feature/issue before??

@GoldnJulz
It also happens if you like comments too quickly on a spree. Lol. I believe you’re safe if you delete 8 at a time and give it a few minutes rest. Better than deleting 10 and on a break for hours before you can continue.

This rule has been around for awhile. You can delete more after some time has passed.

Some sites have limits on how frequently you can make a post.

I think one purpose of both rules is to curtail the actions of bots.

@DrWatson Oh that makes sense. I didn’t even think about bot activity but it makes sense. Thank you ☺ 😊

I received that messages when I started deleting my old posts. Restricting me from deleting my own posts made no sense to me. Still makes no sense. Surely, if I wanted to leave and have all my posts erased, that should be my decision.
I think it's to slow down the process of anyone wanting to leave the site. It's the same with deleting your own posts, comments and photos.
I can't think of any other reason, though I'm sure they'll have one.

@Mindfulness I believe that you are correct. But I’m not leaving the site I was just trying to tidy up 🧹. Oh well 🙄 SW/Big Brother wins again…
@GoldnJulz glad to hear you're not leaving.
