Deletion policy

This has broken the advanced discobot tutorial as the user would be guided to deleted the posts (something that is now impossible).

For this reason, I’ve changed the default text on the discourse string (for documentation purposes):

It now reads:

On the forum we’ve collectively decided not to allow deletion of posts. You can always ask for your full account to be anonymised (understanding the consequences of that, of course).

Please skip this and the following step by typing two replies:

  1. @discobot skip ← notice the space after ‘skip’
  2. @discobot skip 2

The above is kind of a hack because discourse doesn’t like repeated replies.
