you can't, see "people expect a message to be #deleted (when they deleted it)" http://federation.skilledtests.com/Aspects_of_federation.html#understanding_the_concept:_federation
-
@aru well, you can: by asking the admins on the various servers, but...
-
@erkanyilmaz that's a design error in SN, of course :)
-
@mk AFAIK In #usenet there's a method called #cancelling. You can delete your msg even if has been already distributed to other newsservers.
-
@mcscx #usenet #cancelling exactly; and if 'post' is a distributable message and 'favor' is a distributable message, why not 'delete'?
-
@mcscx #usenet #cancelling they're all verbs with a single dent as object, so not using 'delete' the same way is illogical (ie, bad design)
-
@mcscx if you think it through, the core design error is that a dent does not get a real ID, only a quasi-ID that is local to the originating server - that causes lots of problems and oddities in the DB structure. if you cannot IDentify a dent (remotely) how can you delete it? Or connect it to other dents? etc.
