Allowing users to delete a post or topic for limited time?
 

Like is there a mod for that or a setting?

Say if a user posted somewhere wrong and wants to delete that then they can for the next 10 minutes.

Maybe a permission setting on forum basis or usergroup basis.

Their are forum and Usergroup Permissions for that except for the 10 minutes part

That isn't useful because then someone could delete a topic with 100 posts.

i can look into that for you their might be file edits.

They would only be able to do a soft delete on post or threads anyways so you could always restore them.

That would be cool but editing core files is a temp solution not a long term one. Because core files get overridden in future updates.

Still I appreciate your time spent to look into this.

True enough but you can't notice it everywhere they do it and I don't feel its a great solution either. Don't want to babysit that thought. The goal is to decrease moderation work.

Looking at the vb code trying to figure it out their is a time limit on editing post and that the way your user would not be able to delete their post or thread you could do this.
Go to AdminCP > Setting > Options > Message Posting and Editing Options > Time Limit on Editing of Posts
Only Admin and mods could edit or delete posts, threads after this time limit has past.

I you don't like the vb option Time Limit on Editing of Posts in post #6

you would have to edit two file ajax.php and editpost.php

Find this code
And replace with this code

The same problems, the solution was

Thank you
