The rest of the mod staff can overrule me on this of course, but for not deleting posts, I think the possibility of destroying the context of other posts in the thread is sufficient reason. It also breaks quote links. It would definitely be abused by people trying to hide their shitty behavior. Most other forums I've been on don't allow it either. If you don't want it out there, don't post it. And like I said, you always have the "edit" button if you're that determined. I could go on and on. 
Now, as far as deleting your profile, that can be done (although only one mod currently has the power to do it), but your old posts will end up looking something like this where your username shows up as Guest_OLD_USERNAME_*. You could probably get around it displaying your old username by having it changed immediately before deleting your profile. But I still discourage it without good reason as it breaks @ references, but then again, so do name changes, which is annoying.
 

I'm fine with whatever on the emote front, but one thing that was annoying in the past when changes were made to the emote list is it ended up breaking some emotes in old posts.

Hmm is it possible to return the possibility to add a space in display names?
Back then we could but now we can't.. :/

I, for one, welcome our new LanaBoards overlord! 
 
You should get @@FredRed to voice Lana in the sequel. 
 
At this point I can unequivocally say I am dragging down the mean attractiveness of the mod staff.
 
It's probably wishful thinking, but I'm hoping your niceness has a trickle down, culture shifting effect on the forum.
 
You still have your Lollapalooza wristband on?!     How has it not disintegrated by now? Did you go the whole weekend, or just Thursday?

This is better to wake up to than Lana leaks. I have a deep affection and respect for you, I can't thank you enough for this, I'm extremely excited for the things to come and I don't think we could have found someone with a purest and most obvious dedication and love for Lana and this community. I only have been there for a year and a half but I can tell without a doubt that this is my favourite website, I lived the best moments of my life here and seeing its future so reaffirmed is a blessing. Also your nails are amazing And huge thanks to your queen aunt!

This site is about to get really good I'm so happy someone as kind as you has decided to take over

I agree more time zone diversity could be beneficial for things like spam clean-up. But I think expanding the mod staff too much could make consensus on more complicated moderating issues more difficult. 

I'm not really sure you're very well-positioned to be making this critique, nor am I sure that our following this suggestion would work out well for you. I'm not necessarily opposed to more transparency and clarity-- there certainly could stand to be more communication amongst the mods and admin regarding these kinds of decisions than in the past-- but I have a feeling this clarity is likely to manifest itself in the form of stricter application. 
That said, transparency is not always a positive good. Some disciplinary measures are best handled privately and discreetly. I do agree that our forum guidelines could use some updating, however, as there are certainly some things we don't allow that aren't covered well in the current language.
 

In principle, I completely agree. In practice, I completely don't. One thread about this particular extraneous subject isn't worth the attendant drama, let alone lengthy server outages due to DDoS attacks that take down everything else with it. This is why we can't have nice things, or even mediocre things.

I'm actually really opposed to a no holds barred section. I see no reason to encourage pettiness or rude behaviour.

This makes me so happy. As someone who has been a part of this board since days after its creation, I've been scared for its future for a while. During the past year all the downtime really had me thinking that any day the site would be gone forever and I couldn't help but think of what a hole that would leave in my life. I am beyond excited to see such a nice, genuine and mature person taking charge here and I am really excited for the future of Lana Boards. much love to you @@Elle
 
P.S. we definitely need to get to know each other better!!!
