Unlisted forum post PURGE

87.2k Johndfg  8.1 years ago

When I am designing a plane, I post many unlisted copies - as backups, or so others can test my design. One problem is that these unlisted posts take up tons of room, and it takes forever to delete them all. I probably have about 200 unlisted posts on my account. Imagine all the website space that could be cleared with the addition of a "delete all unlisted posts" button, or an ability to easily select a number of posts to be deleted. Upvote if you agree, and tell me what you think!

    @AndrewGarrison true. I'll just try to delete a few dozen a day. Thanks for your help

    @Johndfg Sorry, no plans for that either. I don't think it's too bad to delete a plane. If I were going to delete a whole truckload, I would open up my posts like you have in the screenshot above. Then I would middle click each plane I want to delete so that it opens in a new tab and then just crunch through each tab and delete the airplane and then press CTRL+W to close that tab. Wouldn't take long at all to delete dozens of airplanes that way.

    @AndrewGarrison fair enough. I'm also assuming that allowing players to select multiple planes to highlight/delete can't happen either?

    @Johndfg I'm sorry but I don't think we will ever add this feature. I agree it would be helpful in your case, but between the dev effort and the potential for players accidentally delete a lot of their planes I don't think it's a good idea.

    Nice idea. The confirmation dialogue should read :
    "This will delete ALL of your unlisted uploads. You cannot undo this process. Are you sure?"

    Is there any way this could be added?

    Probably they haven't added it yet because no one knew about your stash until now.
