Once in a while members want to leave the forum and decide they should delete all their posts, leaving threads and the contributions of others wrecked. The post edit function has a solution for this as you can copy paste the threads to the previous edit version. But this is a tedious work if members have a lot of posts.

Please create the function to rollback post edits of a user, to the previous edit version.

Simple fix... DONT LET THEM DELETE THERE OWN STUFF. LOL

Usergroup permissions> can delete own threads. set to no.

ETA... I give them a 5 minute edit time too. Moderators get longer. Soft delete only. NO one should be able to delete anything on a board but an admin. JMO

Also, this method cuts down on trolls. Trolls like to edit their posts.

I at one point didnt let them edit their posts at all. LOL I had someone do that edit post and put "......." where their posts were.

I'm a meany. To many complaints though and I let them have 5 minutes. They're happy for the most part but I still get a few complainers. haha

I started with 5 minutes and got several complaints, so I told them I was being generous and doubling the time limit. Not too many complaints anymore. I did do some editing to allow first posts to be edited forever cuz that is needed on my site. And users are never ever allowed to do anything other than a soft delete.

Only ranked members can soft delete at my board. Newbies cant. Only admins can hard delete. I want my members to be able to edit their posts. Denying them editing functionality is not an option.

A rollback function would be welcome.
