Topic: Members deleting their messages!

A member joined my forum yesterday, and posted many topics. Many of them has many responses for members. Then that new member posted some unclean language that we censored in the forum, so she got pissed off and deleted most of her topics. Surprisingly, she could delete topics with many responses from other members too! I didn't know this was possible with punbb!

Please, how can I prevent members from deleting anything?

Re: Members deleting their messages!

Also... Is there a way to get deleted topics back?

That's a group option.
And you can't get the topics back unless you have a backup

I don't have a backup of yesterday's topics, but this won't be a problem.
But what about the group option? Where do I change it?

In the administration panel, edit the usergroup for member and say no to "Delete topics"
