Not in my opinion. Deleting content is unhelpful to others. They might, for example, waste time a day or two after a post was published, searching for it again but unable to find it. It's also unhelpful to the poster. It would remove information that might help a reader gain a good impression of them as a seller. It might also get them wondering what reasons anyone had for deleting details of what they had been trying to sell. Most of the ones that come to my mind involve some variety of dishonesty. I'd leave the housekeeping to Admin, who will mainly be concerned with clogged gigabytes and will trawl from time to time. Users can't delete a whole post anyway, so just take care of the subject line. "Sold" or whatever added there tells all that's needed, in a few tenths of a second. Opening a thread to find the content gone takes a lot longer and may annoy.

Why do you want to delete them? The Sold tag in the subject line does all that's needed to be helpful. PS I expect this thread will be moved to the About this forum section soon.

You don't throw it away. You eat it. If you want to do a useful documentary, look at the psychology and economics of commercial wastage.

Possibly heuristic questions: 1. What has led to your thinking of buying a new desktop? 2. What points seem particularly relevant, irrelevant or worrying to you if you look at any articles on choice between Mac/Windows/Linux? Personal query: I've never thought of getting a touch screen, but would assume that, if they're available to buy, there will be free or cheap drivers available to enable them to run on most existing operating systems. Is that so?

Bob (actually Bojinko) has his own company, BVAS Builders and Plumbers Ltd, set up in 2012, of which he's the sole director, and is indeed a Gas Safe registered engineer, the sole one registered for his company. His company website can be accessed via http://eltham.inuklocal.co.uk/tradesmen/builders/bvas-builders-and-plumbers-ltd-121212. I'm not keen on its corporate-like talk, especially for what is probably a small business (its registered address is a house in a residential street), or the predominant use, even in the Gallery, of bought-in stock photographs. I don't know who persuades people that this is the sort of website they ought to have, or that self-recommendations (I assume bvas is Bob) are a good idea. They create for me almost the opposite of any well-intended impression. I hope and trust that good craft and trustworthy practice can still sell themselves, through genuine personal recommendation.

So did you actually successfully attach the photo to the above post, and then delete it? > It lets me get to the preview but then goes no further. I don't understand. Was it the whole post that failed to upload? In that case, I've usually found the silent rejection was due to the post's containing, maybe not obviously, some 'forbidden' word or part-word.

> The convention is to edit by deleting all the text (title and content) and replacing with a full stop, It's a lot more helpful to readers to simply supplement the title of the opening thread by adding such as "sold" or "found". If you routinely delete the content of posts you also run the risk of people wondering what you are trying to hide and why. It's probably best reserved for those occasions when, very soon after posting, you realise that your post would have been better left unsaid.

> It's only picking up DVB channels and not Freeview or Freesat, and I've > got no HD channels. Do I need a dish for this or is DVB actually Freesat. DVB is just Digital Video Broadcasting. It can be eg DVB-T (terrestrial, ie Freeview, signal from an aerial), DVB-S (satellite), DVB-C (cable) ... You mention Virgin, so perhaps you are using their cable service. I gather that some of their older or cheaper set top boxes don't provide HD. The same goes for Freeview boxes. Your TV may be "HD ready" rather than full HD; ie its built-in tuner doesn't pick up HD signals, though the set will presumably be capable of displaying in HD an HD signal input from an external source.

From the Southwark dog byelaws http://www.southwark.gov.uk/downloads/download/2859/dog_ban_byelaws "1(3) Byelaw 6 applies to the public walks, pleasure grounds and open spaces or parts thereof described in Schedule 3, hereafter referred to as the "dogs on leads areas". 1(4) Byelaw 6 does not apply to any roads within the dogs on leads areas for the time being designated under section 27 of the Road Traffic Act 1988." It is actually byelaw 5, not 6. I assume that 1(4) is also meant to refer to it: byelaw 6 is actually about removal of offenders. Byelaw 5 says: "5. Dogs on Leads No person in charge of a dog shall, without reasonable excuse, permit the dog to enter or remain in any of the dogs on leads areas unless the dog is held on a lead and is restrained from behaviour giving reasonable grounds for annoyance." Schedule 3 includes in the "Dogs on lead areas": "Dulwich Park ? Central Area & Sports Pitches Peckham Rye Park - Central Landscaped Area". I'm not sure how conclusive the "central" is, but I think I'd assume it excludes the entrance and road areas, regardless of whether or not 1(3) applies. Perhaps the signs indicate the boundaries of the intended areas.

Just wait until the potholes are activated and the disappearances begin. First cats, then cyclists and pedestrians. Eventually the occasional whole car. And videos of the events start appearing on YouTube.

The thread I opened in the General ED Issue section today, about an apparent error on electoral registration forms, and about whic I also emailed James, has now been moved to the Lounge. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1272263

Regulation 114 of the 2001 regulations explicitly permits sale of the full register to credit reference agencies. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/1871/regulation/15/made Ed: This thread was moved, btw, from General ED Issues to the Lounge, in the last hour or two.

I've so far found that, by virtue of The Electoral Registration (Postponement of 2013 Annual Canvass) Order 2013, the 1913 annual canvass relevant date of 15 October was changed, and a postponed canvass was to be made during the period 1 October 2013 to 17 February 2014 inclusive. The regulations then state: "3.(1) Each registration officer in England must publish a revised version of their registers by 17th February 2014." If that's so, a serious initial question now is, How accurate are the Confirmation of Voter Registration 2014 notices that we've just received? And if they do accurately state the currently held value of our deemed Opt Out statuses, have any copies of the Edited Version already been sold?

It's a period of transition. This is from an Electoral Commission press release: "The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013, which received Royal Assent on 31 January 2013, provides for the introduction of Individual Electoral Registration. From summer 2014, each individual will need to provide their date of birth and national insurance number when they apply to register." http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/journalist/electoral-commission-media-centre/news-releases-reviews-and-research/major-change-to-electoral-registration-can-go-ahead-but-risks-to-address,-says-electoral-commission I might look through the detailed EC stuff to see how far Southwark's practice matches their guidance (at http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/electoral-administrator/running-electoral-registration).

Ruffers. That seems to be it. Thanks. I do now remember looking at the change in legislation or administration, when the topic came up in a law newsgroup last year, but had expected official clarity, which in this case would have meant an accompanying explanation of the current request, rather than what looks like the same-old, and which states my _current_ status to be unopted-out. No online option either. No Business Reply envelope, as previously. I think I shall use one from a previous year.

In today's post I received a Confirmation of Voter Registration 2014 from Southwark Council. It has my name and nationality correct but does NOT have the Opt Out (of inclusion in edited register for sale) column ticked. It also has my address in the form [House Number] E22 9NF, London, [Actual Postcode]. I've always selected Opt Out since the option was introduced, and made no change when I last submitted my details online, via the Electoral Reform Society site, on 4 October 2013. My screen shots and a confirmation email from ERS, all of the same date, all confirm that I had selected Opt Out. I'll be contacting the Southwark electoral registration office and James Barber about this, with copies of the evidence. I very much hope hope it's the case that Southwark are not yet selling the relevant edited edition. I assume this hasn't happened just to me. [Edited to enable proper display of the erroneous address: Phorum as configured treated my angle brackets as HTML commands. I have now emailed Southwark and James B]
