Do deleted posts necessarily have to be replaced with a system message? (11)

Is it done for the sake of transparency or is it a software limitation? If it's the former, then it's just clutter and almost as harmful to the health of a thread as public ban messages on 4chan-based imageboards. It isn't like you know what, when and why it was deleted, only that something used to be there.

Just my two cents, anyway.

Oh yeah and they have a whole board for reports because they also lack a proper report system

Yes. If you simply delete the post, it affects the message count and the >>reply system. Consider a reply that says >>3,6-8,11. When 7 is deleted, manually updating that >>reply string to >>3,6-7,10 is just a lot of work.

>>2-4
Obviously, you have never programmed a textboard before.

Kareha is public domain software. Why don't you program a report system if you're so clever? It shouldn't be that hard; client-side JS or no.

I wrote a textboard script last year, actually. I don't know why you assumed I have never programmed one before.

It shouldn't be too hard, have the textboard assign different ids to posts internally, and then calculate the required post numbers when serving up the page. Replies to deleted posts can show something like ">>deleted" That said, Kareha stores threads in plain html, making anything of the sort impossible or at least unpleasant.
It would also fuck with the existing culture around post numbers, and make it harder to keep track of replies to deleted posts, so I really don't see any upsides for it.

Yes, I didn't say it was a masterpiece. I'm only insulted that you assumed I had no experience or understanding of textboard software.
