 | | Cancelling Posts? —Tim Courtney
|
| | | Cancelling posts as of now is a bit cumbersome, having to ask Todd to do it for you and all. What if the members' area had a utility to cancel any of the posts that came from that specific member number - a user can browse through his/her posts to (...)

| | | | (...) The way I read Todd's position on cancelling posts is: He does not like to do it. Upon request from the originator, he does cancel messages, but only when the author gives express orders to do so. Anything other than this leads to moderating (...)

| | | | I don't believe you can cancel posts with your newsreader that you posted with the web interface. If you can, that would solve the problem for a class of users, but not all. However, I still think this is a facility that Todd should provide. It is (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | | (...) I wish there were a way to do this, as well, via the web interface. When I am motivated to cancel a post, I will go ahead and use outlook express or netscape to find the post via NNTP and issue a cancel, but NNTP access is painfully slow from (...)

The email will have to contain a unique one-time secret code that you'd either type (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| | | | (...) If you have the newwsreader set up right, (email address and Name should match the article), they'll usually cancel for you unless they're braindead. I suspect OE and Netscape of being braindead in this regard, though. All you need is a proper (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
