[suggestion] allow deleting oekaki posts with replies

[Unknown]

Oekaki galleries can easily get flooded with unwanted posts if they get any kind of reply on them which pushes out posts that you want people to see. My gallery is full of old things I no longer want there but I can't do anything about it because they all have replies. It would be nice to have the option to delete them or hide them from your gallery.

Hello!

You’re welcome to report any individual threads you’d like removed, and staff can take care of those for you. If the design belongs to another user or is part of another user’s closed species, we recommend anonymizing the post instead. This removes the artwork from your gallery while leaving the Oekaki visible under a blank “guest” account. Please note that this is permanent and cannot be reversed.

If you have a large number of posts to remove or anonymize, you can submit a ticket with links to each one. If there are too many to reasonably link, and they fall within a clear timeframe, admins may be able to handle them in bulk. For example, you could request that all Oekakis created before a certain date/year be anonymized or removed.

The main limitation with allowing full user-side control is to protect artwork that others may own, such as adoptables. In those cases, removing the art outright could impact someone who paid C$, pets, or other value for it.

Hopefully that helps with what you’re trying to accomplish! (:

I believe I asked once about this and I was told that, basically, asking mods to delete in bulk wastes their time but that was a while ago I think. It still would be nice to not have to go through staff to do it though, but I appreciate it being an option!

Definitely not a waste of time! We’re here to support the community, so if this helps you feel more comfortable having your Oekakis removed, then that’s a win.

It’s also really helpful that admins can handle them in bulk. When global moderators do it, it’s typically a manual process, which can take quite a while. That may be what the original mod you were speaking with was referring to? (if I had to guess) If there’s a larger number to remove, admins are able to step in and take care of it more efficiently/faster than we can (:
