The delete submission option! 2005-01-31 08:07:21


Why isnt there an option to delete one of your submissions? I think this would help keep space for NG and get rid of the crappy stuff, but it may also delete some of the good ones, but im sure if you have a submission thats really good, you wouldnt delete it.

So why isnt there one?

Response to The delete submission option! 2005-01-31 08:09:29


i think we should be able to delete our own movie if you want , a delete button is a really good idea

You can remove it, and replace it with a deleted .swf.

Same thing really.

But what i mean is, say if i had a submission i didnt like anymore, it hasnt been reviewed in years, so no point keepign it or updating it, i just delete it then.

Because:

a) It'll increase the trend of fucktards deleting their older, crappy stuff to make their batting average artificially high

b) Given the number of IWP, LF, Knox et al haters, it'll be far too tempting for people to hack their accounts and delete everything

Why would you want to delete your movies they have an quite good score.

but if you want them deleted just email wade. It took only 2 months with me

Response to The delete submission option! 2005-03-20 09:27:20


All your reasons for not having a Delete-Button are retarted.
I dont see why there is no Delete-Button, because I'm really embarresed about my old flash movies and I want to delete them.

I hope the admins will come to their senses ans make such a button, it will reduce the number of GB, Crappie shit, Porn and fucked-up flash movies (like mine) and increase the standard of NG.

Thank you for making a Delete-Button.

Response to The delete submission option! 2005-03-20 09:29:51


I would really enjoy having that button, instead of going through all these phases with Wade.


I like making movies, music, and smoking weed. Call me crazy.

Read my reason, which is the reason why there isn't one. If you want to artificially cheat the batting average system by deleting your shit, rename your crap deletelaubo01 and email Wade and give him more work to do.

And there was a mass outcry, with people believing that that was the last ever Foamy movie?

What a day.

You could email wade and see if he will delete it for you.

Just e-mail wade or change the name of the flashes you want deleting to 'DELETE MEH' or alike, and change the Flash itself to something just saying 'Delete me please' and it will be deleted eventually.


Sup, bitches :)

Taht is two very great reasons why that option is not available.

Wrong. He made some topic about it like name it "Delete<username> 1" etc. e'd search for those submissions every now and then, because he gets a LOT of mail about deleting stuff.

You submit a flash, you get a tattoo. You can add to it, but you can't wuss out and get it removed. Live with it and learn from it mofo.

Like I said before, all your reasons for not having a delete button are retarted:

1. If you are so afraid of people trying to make their batting-average higher (which is stupid, because batting-average is just a silly number!), NG could make it so, that if you delete a file, the score will remain part of your batting-average forever.

2. It is so simple to make deleting secure: NG could send you a confirmation-email after deleting a file, to ask you whether you really want to delete that movie/game.

Their is no reason not to have a delete-button...

Yeah its a good idea, but its breen brought up before and concluded that it would be abused to delete others movies.

A level 11 with 2 posts? Who has what is known as 'logic'? On NG?!
Nice!

I agree with you 100% :P

I have yet to read a good argument of why we don't have a Delete Submission button. Yes, you can email Wade, wait 5 years, and maybe have you submission deleted. This makes more work for Wade, and it isn't guaranteed that your submission will be deleted. Over the last few months, I've emailed Wade like 12 times to delete my submission... and it is still there. Another argument was that people would delete good movies they made. I don't see that happening. The reason many want to their delete movies is for the simple fact that they suck. It might have been one of their first submissions, and maybe it reflects poorly on their actual skills. If it brings their batting average up, so be it. That doesn't really mean shit. Now, addressing the hacking accounts argument, there is one simple solution; MAKE A REDICULOUS PASSWORD! NG has almost no loop holes or php flaws, which makes fucking shit up very hard. One of the only ways to gain access to an account is to know a persons password. Even if someone did manage to get into an account and delete the movies, I'm sure they still have the origin .swf and can re-submit it. In conclusion, I think a delete submissions button would be great.

-Less crap on the portal
-More webspace for NG
-Better reflection on a persons skill level
-Pretty safe

Newgrounds probably likes having loads of submissions here. Allowing people to delete their own might jeopardise that.
