Should they be left as a warning to others?

Yes!!

The funny thing is people jump one way and then the next. We still don't know the actual facts, only they do. I won't slate that OP or the woman. They may BOTH be at fault. Both could be lying.

"Should they be left as a warning to others?"

depends for the reason they have gone bad... if there is something against the law in them... no

if it shows people a side to people's behaviour they would like to be removed.... yep

I agree. I had a remarkable sense of deja vu recently but the last time the very similar thread involving one if the same people happened late at night and was deleted quickly.

I'm happy to be judged by my forum posts. If people think that I'm a bit of a dick so be it

In the forums you read the OP post as that's what its about and posts I don't always read what others say at times.

Regardless of who was at fault the OP should not have posted in the first place. It just looked like he wanted revenge. He ended up looking a complete prat.

Good god no!

Ive been in situations before where ive really really really liked a guy and posted rather cringeworthy status updates on facebook after a few drinks...more to provoke a response from him than anything, its a horrible feeling when messages suddenly dry up and you see him up the pub with someone else lol. Thankfully I could delete the next morning - it'd be hideous if I'd have had to leave it up 'as a warning to others'!

I think its the new way people meet now on dating sites as there lives are so busy and also they like to know a bit about a person .... its better then maybe meeting in a bar or disco and just go for looks ... From a dating site you know a little about their likes and can pick to meet or not .. Yes they could be lying and full of crap but I think free dating ones are so I am told its like a minefield out there. lol

I think you should be able to delete your posts at any time, so if you regret it you can backtrack.

I don't think leaving them up is nice at all. It's be completely ineffective at wrong others as we've all seen those types of posts before yet we still do them.

Give people the option to delete their own posts.

Of course that wouldn't be entertaining though, would it...

I hear you on that...

but just a dirty laundry post?

Does it really need to stay up 'as a warning'? a warning of what? that the op has feelings and wrote a post in the heat of a bad moment? as a warning to people to think before they comment to save them feeling daft after?

On serious prejudices yes I see your point - but you can get yourself removed in google searches to stop past mistakes showing up now...do you not believe people have the right to learn from mistakes and be given a fresh start? What if someone posted something prejudiced...but then, changed their mind! should they be judged on opinions they USED to hold?

I say take people as they are today, as they're a slightly different person than they were yesterday

True. But I think forming opinions on people based on forum posts is similar to believing verifications. What people write on the forum may be true, it may be bollocks, it may be twisted by other people to make them look bad....

It all depends on perspectives.

True people can be who ever on the net and come across some weird people over the years and some when you meet them face to face so different in real life then on here . Cyber space that's the net and its not real life .

I hear you on that...

but just a dirty laundry post?

Does it really need to stay up 'as a warning'? a warning of what? that the op has feelings and wrote a post in the heat of a bad moment? as a warning to people to think before they comment to save them feeling daft after?

okay... so lets take your example and run with it.....

lets for example say that this isn't the first example of this type of post from a poster in a couple of weeks.....

one off... fine..... two or three pattern developing???

shouldn't people be allowed to see if there is a pattern in behaviour....."

That depends if you're the type to judge someone on past behaviour and base your interactions with them on that.

I do form opinions of people from what they write sure, its difficult not to.

But ok, in your example - how long should those posts stay up 'as a warning'?

That is just the part of them they want me to see and hear. They won't always be honest about what they want and I'm not entirely sure of what I want from a man. I don't want to go on date after date to find they just want sex,or aren't exciting enough for me. I have to be right for them too. A dating site seems too clinical to me and open to abuse. If I'm out and chat to a man and he asks for my number we have no preconceived ideas of what the other person is like.
