Possible NARC Identification
I have a question and a disposition, based upon how you guys respond to me it will either cement my opinion, or loosen it.
I find it odd that some people choose to disable the ability to edit/delete posts on their threads. I don't see why anyone would take the extra time to check off the option, and to what avail? I wonder if this is a tool that narcs use on this site so that once you have accidentally incriminated yourself it is more difficult to expunge your statements?
Any thoughts on the matter?
Anyone have any other ideas to spot narcs on this site? Any time tested ways? Any input at all is welcome. We are a community, and need to protect each other, as well as cover our own asses. Granted a certain level of care should be taken online, however no one is perfect.
If you are someone who disables the ability to edit/delete posts on your threads, why?
Thanks guys, and stay safe.
Mod Edit: The ability to edit and delete threads is locked out after 48 hours. Not even Mods can post threads where you can't edit your messages.

Yeah, it just occurred to me as well. Curious to see how other people feel about it. I wonder how the mods would feel if we petitioned them to remove the capability to disable this function?
Mods - is this something you guys would consider? What if we circulated a petition?
Others - chime in, how do you spot narcs?

I agree, its quite elementary to not have this option.
Narcs, are your covers blown? Shit, I am considering a thread hunt, and calling some people out... Ask them why they thought it was necessary to disable this feature, which really only could help protect their comrades. I am not accusing anyone, but I think someone who likes this feature should defend it.
Anyone?

If your worried about your security never post a picture you took on your phone and go to Torproject.org and download the browser.
they say you cant delete posts because it leaves holes in threads...yet ive seen certain mods remove 80% of posts from a thread simply because i made him look bad and proved him wrong. its all BS to be honest...and yes there are numerous rumors going around about LEO getting easy access to info here...but its all talk till i see proof...either way growing this happy plant comes with risks...lets just hope that places like this that claim to be here to help the MJ community are not working against us...either for their own pleasure...or payback for being put in their place.Originally Posted by Mupphet.Man
I am not worried about my security per say, I have not implicated myself in anything. I am addressing a potential security flaw in this website though. Or am I and the other two posters the only ones who find it suspicious? Torproject, eh? I'll do some research.

to me it makes no sense...the only answer i get as to why we cant delete posts or accounts is because it causes holes in the threads...threads which they delete and or edit/remove posts at will...so it causes holes, ok thats fine..but why cant we delete pics? the post would be there...only the pics removed...no holes. now i have built various websites with Vbulletin platform doing forums and websites..and i know a simple check of a box lets you remove posts and pics...so im still waiting for a answer other then "it causes holes in the threads". and not to push conspiracy theories here...but im beginning to think that maybe a mod here might be the actually owner yet plays a mod to blend in. if i ran a site of this size...generating this amount of income (and i know its more then the price of the server) i would want to be more involved here....yet we rarely see the riu admin here. but this is all in just opinion.
