bpmotard Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Hey guys, I just wanted to add a little suggestion and that is deleting your unpublished guides. Why? Well, at least for me, I started writing some guides that other users published before I did or simply I got bored or didn't feel like the guide had any good potencial and now they are simply laying there and I would like to delete them, since they will never be published. Why isn't this an option? Thank you for your time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddracarys Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 If you don't want them anymore you can try to work something out with Sly or the Guide Team. They're all very kind and helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalailama1989 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I would like that feature, too. Started a few which I'lll never finish/publish.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'd support this feature. I have guides that I have abandoned for a about a year and have no desire to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvengedEvil Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Would be a great idea. I have an unpulished guide too, which I'll never release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soufwar Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 i decided to write a guide for all the games i played that dont have guides to help the community, but i know i'll probably get tired from a guide and wont publish it in the future, i hope this will happen.

Satoshi Ookami Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 It's meant to be added eventually. Let's hope the eventually is as soon as possible =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, both Sly and other guide team members(BlindMango and Dragon-Archon comes to mind) always helped with any and every trouble I had in the past, but it still could be a nice feature for those who have abandoned guides (and we would not need to bother the guide team everytime we need to delete a guide) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExHaseo Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 It would be nice if there was the option, but only if it was sent to a mod to approve the deletion of the guide. I only say that, because my Birth By Sleep guide was never meant to be published. I got about 2/3 of the way done, and stopped making it. It was just too much work, and there were other things I wanted to do instead. BlindMango saw that the guide was mostly done, and offered to finish it up, and then they released it. It's helped a lot more people than I expected, and if we could just delete guides, it never would've even been released. That's why I think they should be sent for mod approval before deletion. Most may just be able to get deleted, but others may be better than the guide maker thinks, and could actually get completed by someone else. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanreo Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Yeah, I want this too, especially since I accidentally started a "double" of a guide (my Taiko guide) and would like to delete the other one... I also have unfinished guides for games that got published before I finished my guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then also I think about what ExHaseo posted above and that's actually a pretty good statement too. If we had the power of deletion we may unintentionally delete guides that would of actually been great to have out there. It's a nice thing to think about.

Undead Wolf Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I get that Sly wants to focus on implementing features that are beneficial to all members, not just a small portion of them, but this is a feature people have been requesting for years now. I know it isn't the most urgent issue that needs to be addressed, but the people who make guides are a great asset to this site. They bring in clicks, new members, etc. If anything can be done to improve these people's lives and keep them here making guides instead of going elsewhere, then surely it's worth the effort. As for the suggestion that you would need to send a request to the guide team/a mod before your guide is deleted, I'm not a fan of that at all. I don't know what the law says, but as far as I'm concerned, the guide you wrote should belong to you. The wishes of the guide writer should be respected if they want it taken down, even if something of worth is lost in that process. I don't like the thought of someone else deciding that for you.

BlindMango Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Even the guide team can't delete guides, I've been wanting to see this feature for years Sly, please add this - only being able to delete non-published guides maybe with a recycle bin for accidents Edited September 16, 2017 by BlindMango 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalChaos72 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I started a guide over a year ago and wouldn't mind it being deleted as i abandoned it. Be great if it could be deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
