It is my content to remove and regardless of other users' sense of ownership of it it is my right to remove it. Bulk quoting of it in an attempt to prevent me from exercising this right is wholly inappropriate and I request that posts quoting my material from the point where it was made known I would be removing it (post dated Aug 12, 2010, 11:18 AM) onwards be removed and it be made clear that such behavior will not be tolerated. Your understanding in this matter is greatly appreciated. -aric. So, you not only want the right to delete your own content, but to have content removed from other user's posts? That's quite amazing. Curt When said posts are being done explicitly to prevent me from exercising my rights under the TOS, yes. The posts in question are not part of the original discussions and contain no new content, so therefore are being done specifically to deny me my rights under the TOS and should be removed. I would also point out that posts I had removed yesterday are now popping back up, which means that another user is pulling copies of my posts from their browser cache to quote them back into the threads. Another user presuming to have a greater right to the usage of my content than I do is in violation of both the letter and spirit of the TOS. EDIT- I was incorrect that the user was pulling them from his browser cache. Apparently he's getting them from Google Cache instead (according to a PM from the user in question), which in my mind blows a hole in any argument based upon loss of value to the community, as it is clearly still available elsewhere. It's only available in google cache for a matter of hours to days, which is a fatal blow to your own argument, since the only way to keep that material available to the community is to promptly retrieve and repost it somewhere. Jay Which brings us full circle: Who owns control of content I create? The TOS says I do...
I agree with you here--no problem.

To me, at least, this is far less clear. I am glad to see (as per Kel's post above) that site management will, in the short term, make a decision.
