Re: Alcohol!
Where's the option for "not every day, but fuck my Covid depression"?

Re: Alcohol!
I need a choice between "every day" and "only on weekends/holidays." I'm a solid 3-4 days a week at this point.

Re: Alcohol!
I really needed an "other/explain" option here. I was forced to go with "lifelong teetotaler" because if you look at the ratio of time spent consuming alcohol/time doing anything else then that number is approaching 0 making lifelong teetotaler the best description of my alcohol consumption even though I have the occasional drink here and there. Bad poll!

Re: Alcohol!
It wasn't "which one of these exactly describes you", it's "which one BEST describes..." There is no need for an "other" if that's what the question is.
Read the goddamn questions, or we are DONE here.

Re: Alcohol!
I mean, here's the thing, every time I give you guys edit permissions you all start going back and deleting posts. All of you.
It ain't me, it's YOU. YOU all did this. In fact, I would say that you all specifically do this because you hate me.
(And it should be said that if any of you have an old post you want nuked just tell me and I will do it.)
People say, oh, can't you give an edit window? If one of you can find a phpbb 3 plug in for a five minute edit window I'll install it. But this is where it ends. Now here come the insults.

I think these are the settings you are looking for.

Re: Alcohol!
So, it was already set to 15 minutes to edit a post and 1 minute to delete a post.
I am going to set it to 12 hours to edit a post and 4 hours to delete a post. But I guarantee you it won't work.

Re: Alcohol!
OK, Mays made a good point in the other thread. People are taking things a little TOO seriously.
We're going to knock back with a few drinks and CALM DOWN a bit.
I want this to be a place that works for all of you, but it also drives me crazy when people delete their shit from years ago in order to cause havoc and make threads unreadable. Last time I enabled total post editing, and I am not calling anyone out specifically, but Tdarcos went back and did exactly that and then told us.

Re: Alcohol!
Isn't he the exception here? I bet he could delete 40% of his posts and nobody would notice.

Yes, the lifelong teetotaler option was the option that best describes me even though I have the occasional drink. I thought I broke it down clearly enough in my original response.

I have edited the poll. I appreciate the Sysop's attention to this matter.
