Only Admin can delete galleries?

Has this changed? I want to delete a gallery, but it's telling me that only Administrators can do that. I'm sure I saw examples of users deleting galleries before.

Basically, why cant I remove my own photos?

You're correct, doc. Only mods and admin can delete galleries. If there is something you wish deleted, PM The Hitman's Daughter or ednothing with what you would like removed, and why, and they can take care of it for you.

You should be able to still delete individual photos though.

I don't recall, personally...

Why do you ask, Doc? Are you wanting to remove all of your galleries? If so... why?

This rule which has been added:


Moderators and Administrators reserve the right to selectively censor or remove any of your posts or images if they are in violation of any of the other UER rules.


I don't agree to it. The only person I want editing my photos is me. I took them, they're mine to do with as I please.

Therefore, please remove all my entries and photos from the DB. I don't want a big discussion about this, I just want them removed. And since I can't do it myself, I'll need a Mod to do it for me.

That rule was added more than half a year ago. There was a big discussion about it then, and I thought everyone was clear on the new policy.

Since it only applies to photos which already violate the existing rules, we could always take the alternate approach: Since you posted a photo that violates the rules, we just ban you. That's the easiest way.

Since this is clearly not a very desirable solution, the better one is to remove the offending photo, or even better: simply remove the offending section of the photo.

That's all you had to do.

Are you a friend of Turbozutek's, by the way? You sound just like him...

EVERYONE is a friend of TurboZutek's, Crossfire. A person has to be a real dick and a half for me to take an active dislike to them.

So, why is who is friends with who relevant ?

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

It sounds like certain people are still upset about the international copyright law thing. Here in the US we ignore or break as many international laws as possible*, so I don't know if UER is technically liable if the server is in Texas. If it were me, I would have just deleted offending photos, but apparently most people preferred to have thiers censored rather than removed.



*Neither I or the administration of UER necessarily agrees with this policy, I'm just bringing it up to illustrate a legal position.

Turn off the internet and go play outside.

Regardless,

The Doc had a reasonable request. If his reason had been 'because my house is made of bricks' and not 'copyright issues' then it shouldn't make any difference, he simply asked for his work to be removed.

So... Remove it ?

I would like to think if I made a similar request it would be granted, as it legally should be.

The solution was given several posts back by Crossfire.

The Hitman's Daughter and Ednothing are the ones that field those types of requests. So he simply needs to PM one of them with his request, and as soon as they are able, they will accomodate him.

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.

He can remove them himself, or request one of the LDB mods do it. Whether the policy was in place before the photos in question were uploaded is not relevant.

A solution has been given so this thread has served its purpose.
