AI-generated summary
A discussion on deleting posts in a database. Jennifer_Abrams wants to “permadelete” a post using Post.find(THE_POST_ID).destroy, but riking advises against this as it can cause database issues. Instead, riking recommends deleting the post through the UI and editing the deleted post to say “(Content removed by administrator)”. Jennifer_Abrams expresses a desire to rewrite the post in the database, but ultimately decides to delete it and warn the user who posted it, as the post contained harsh words towards her.
Why are you trying to “permadelete” a post? Simply deleting the post record will leave dangling pointers, creating a broken database, and you may not catch all copies of the post content (especially revisions).
If there’s some illegal content in the post that you need to purge, I believe I have instructions for that.
it’s not illegal, but i dont want it on my server, how do you do that
not an image just words
btw i found the post ID
If you simply don’t want it around, and it’s not causing a technical or legal problem:
- Click the delete post button in the UI
- Use your admin powers to edit the deleted post to just say
(Content removed by administrator) - Potentially, send an official warning to the user that posted it
Is there a way to rewrite it in the database, it just hurts me spiritually for it to be there
a guy was using too harsh words towards me, so i’ll just delete it and warn him I guess, I don’t want a broken database
