Regular users can not delete their own posts: If you screw up, like by double posting, edit your 'mistake post' to say something like "please delete." That will make it clear that a mod should delete it when ever they happen upon it. (And we'll appreciate you all the more for being helpful

)
Attachments:They are currently enabled for everyone, but they're not enabled in every section. I'm going to see how this works out, it might change from time to time. Use them, mostly, to post your art: Please feel free to use them in the General Art forum so your artwork does not become a broken link over time. (Same as the
conceptart.org forums.) The other encouraged use for them is if you find rare media- like official art or comics- and you don't think the link will be around forever and you want to show us.
Try to use them sparingly for anything else.Current Attachment Restrictions:3 attachments per post
