  Hmm, another suggestion
 
I know in the past, we have asked for user cancel of web posted posts. I have noted that an NNTP cancel must be authenticated just like a regular post. It seems like it would be possible to have a cancel button in the web view that would generate an (...) (19 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: Hmm, another suggestion
 
(...) I would recommend setting it up so only logged on users will be able to even see a button for canceling (only their) posts - otherwise you'd end up floodding people with "cancel requests" :/ I did look once to see how we can associate a member (...)

  Re: Hmm, another suggestion
 
(...) Good point. Hmm, did we capture the suggestion that we should have logins for non-members so they can benefit from some of the post controls? (...) Aren't logged on members already associated with a posting setup? Frank (19 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

  Re: Hmm, another suggestion
 
(...) I realize the desire here, but I'm sort of a stream of conscious person. Plus, as an NNTP user, I tend to go for a minimal number of posts. Until we have an ability to mass authenticate posts, it's just too much of a pain to authenticate a (...) (19 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
 
  Re: Hmm, another suggestion
 
(...) No. I have no idea if it was submitted by a member or just someone that wants to be able to post, unless I recognise the name. (...) Again, no. (...) Not unless it's linked in better, it sounds like. Currently all we are doing to allow posting (...) (19 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)
