Yes, but we can’t ignore they refuse to make it for something of more than 100 posts for Chaosfall. Then we have to tell that we are not agree, and honestly, I would never have taken so much time to contribute to Eroscript if the general conditions of use stipulated that one day I would have to depend on the goodwill of a third party to freely access my data. I am generally affected by the theft of information, so I change MEGA’s links very regularly. That’s hundreds of links each time. I don’t need to depend on anyone to make these changes. Not only am I not 5 years old, but I simply don’t want to be. We don’t have the same time zones, and I have specific schedules so as not to hamper my personal and professional life. This is bullshit. we were not granted the changes, and personally, I refuse them.
True, but then how do you approach a situation where someone wants everything removed? Account, posts, comments, etc? The big problem here from the little I’ve read is edit and delete function the same way, and a request to delete has become a major time sync and headache for mods to handle when involving a long time/post heavy member. If you restrict delete, you run into the same problem and comments we see above (example: privacy/IP from other countries). I’m not against said policies. As I see it, this is an internal issue due to the coding. If I’m correct in these assumptions, I would suggest allowing editing and putting an expected time should someone want to delete an account. The expected time could be 7 days or 3 months. Either way, after reviewing the account you can determine the intensity of the process and make it so you aren’t overworked on it.
As I said “the laws that apply may originate from the sites hosting country”.
I don’t live in the EU, however I kept up with the establishment of the GDPR. I love it honestly.
However a non-EU nation/company has no obligation to respect it’s declaration or enforce it. Even more so if it doesn’t have a physical presence in the EU. At that point the EU would probably have to just block the site / blacklist for non-compliance.
I’m glad you took the time to post that. I’d love to look into it more and wish it was put into place worldwide.
I think the current problem for the users that create content here is not to be able to edit posts - not to be unable to delete them. So that would solve their problems.
The anonymize user function that was said to be in the making should take care of the mod issue and should not be that time critical. If it also provides a small optional functionality to replace all users posts with “user deleted” then I would be fine with that.
Well yes and no… someone wanting to remove an account and all postings from the site would fall under the same EU (GDPR) as the editing to remove or change your content.
I would agree with this so it didn’t remove the other users posts:
If it also provides a small optional functionality to replace all users posts with “user deleted” then I would be fine with that.
I have a feeling that the forum decided to sell and in order to raise relevance made such a decision - because everything that is on the forum will remain here forever. Then in a couple of weeks when the storm subsides - open indexing of the site for google and others - the cost will skyrocket.
I had a great time with you guys - honestly!
Why this escalation? Okay, there are some things that not every ones taste. Maybe discuss this problems first the next few days / weeks and then start a riot 
.
The problems we had in the past with external script sites will not be the same with the changes here.
Don’t forget Hugecat and the eroscripts mods made a great job so far… for free.
Yes great job we thank you, yes you dont get paid we know. That does not in any way excuse you or anyone from poor behavior, bad decisions, or literally anything.
Just because you volunteered your time to create this place DOES NOT mean you get to do whatever you want with the things people create and share on eroscripts. You may have assembled the code to put this here, but the people using the site create the things that keep you here. If you were trying to solve a problem with users deleting posts you wished to stay, I think that is ultimately too bad. They created the post, if they no longer feel like it should exist in public then they have every right to delete it as they see fit
Then this whole idea of things being “free” or without charge is said in a way that implies people should be allowed to do as they please because its volunteer work. It doesn’t make sense. You can have standards, rules, restrictions, and you can hold people accountable to them regardless of purposed monetary value or time invested.
I am a part of several sites for example that make you go through quite an ordeal just to share content, but this in turn makes the quality of the content on that site much higher then anywhere else you go. And absolutely nothing on this site costs a cent.
People fuck up make mistakes, this is one of them, i fuck shit up all the time, no big deal. All that matters is how we handle those fuck ups in the aftermath. Just fix it and carry on. Simple.
Feeling a strong “Nexus Mods” vibe situation coming from all this
As a user, I really like having the ability to have everything archived. But I understand why a lot of creators are angry. It is their scripts. They should have every right to delete them from this site if they choose to.
I can agree with that 100 percent 
… and I am also pretty sure that the editing rules will be fixed.
Btw, this thread is only a few hours old and @hugecat probably hasn’t even seen it yet. Let’s be a little patient and give it some time. He had mentioned in the other thread that he is currently on the road.
For some reason the word “entitlement” is rushing to the forefront of my mind.
Perhaps the terms of the site need to be explicit about it, but when you post something, you are granting a license to distribute that information. Don’t want a script to be available regardless of your future decision to go wonky and delete everything? Then don’t upload it. Link to it outside the site, where you can exercise your whims on demand, and suffer the consequences of being seen as fickle and unreliable by the community.
This site is provided for free. There are no laws or rights being violated by the editing policy being put into effect. It may be inconvenient for how some people have been doing things up to now, but it does strike many people as necessary to avoid the carnage of people frequently wiping out their post histories for no discernible reason, devaluing the site in the process.
Forget all the semantics, Is it really that difficult to give users the ability to delete their posts?
Been drinking a beer watching all this go dowm so im throwing this in here. Seems legit
From the ToS:
Nothing in these terms gives the company any ownership rights in intellectual property that you share with the forum, such as your account information, posts, or other content you submit to the forum.
[…]
Content you submit to the forum belongs to you, and you decide what permission to give others for it. But at a minimum, you license the company to provide content that you submit to the forum to other users of the forum. That special license allows the company to copy, publish, and analyze content you submit to the forum.When content you submit is removed from the forum, whether by you or by the company, the company’s special license ends when the last copy disappears from the company’s backups, caches, and other systems.
So when you’re posting a script you’re ganting a temporary, revokable, license to EroScripts (and no one else) to distribute it.
Source needed.
But in any case, that is their right as clearly stated in the ToS.
Can we get permissions to delete our messages to other users?
going to be too difficult to respond in 2 different topics, so I just posted one thing in Update to self post edit time limit + deletion guidelines - #47 by hugecat
Just tell me how can I move this topic in “free scripts” and add scripts to the main page?
If making it a wiki page now is not possible or is it?
You removed the ability to edit title posts in topics without telling us what to do and how to do it, except for new topics. Although the idea with wiki is strange - but it should be tried - at the end of the week I will publish a new conditionally paid script and we’ll see ;).
Ooft. Can’t wait for GDPR to get all over this one. Eroscripts could face some litigation here if some EU creators wanted to present it. Seems pretty cut and dry.
What does GDPR have to do with that? It only applies to personal data that allows to identify you not to everything you do or post on a website
‘Personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

While I understand that people have concerns with the change and those concerns might also be legitimate - members of this community are handling this really, really badly. This asinine ‘boycott’, people immediately saying things like trust is broken in an instant, threats to send data protection requests to legal authorities!!! it’s all extremely gross to see.
We aren’t talking about some faceless company here. Hugecat has been fantastic from the birth of this site and put in a ton of work making sure the community didn’t die with the old RTS forum. He’s admitted himself that he feels a bit caught between a rock and a hard place so clearly doesn’t see this as the ideal solution, it was a response to a mass post/script wipe. His only intent was to try and preserve as much as possible. He is not out to get you.
Can we please move away from acting like average redditors/twitterheads and start discussing this like reasonable adults. Hugecat is a good guy and he will listen. I’m not sure I agree with the changes myself. But the behaviour displayed over the last few days is absolutely not the way to handle it. I agree with some of the actions being suggested in discussions around this, but seriously, 90% of what is being said about this topic can get in the bin.
