Depositing MVC Points into II [MERGED]

[dioxide45]

Marriott points, I can book Vistana/Sheraton for $164 but cannot pull up anything at Marriott. The weeks were deposited into my Pre MVCI Club Destination account.

Sadly, had they been deposited into your MVC DC Corp Account, those Sheraton/Vistana exchanges would be $0.

Completely off-topic, what do these kinds of posts mean? I see them fairly often, just a period and nothing else. What is it?

HAHA!! Every time I see one in my head I'm asking WTF?! but hesitated to ask because I just knew somebody would chime in like you did!

I've often wondered too. I think people may post that in a method to follow/watch a thread. Though there is the Watch button available too. Another thought is that they posted something and deleted their post?

It may be a lack of knowledge by the user, me, but I couldn't figure out how to delete my previous post b/c the question was already answered, so I just changed it to a .

In the lower left corner of your post do you see the Report button? I think within the first 48 hours of a post you can also see at least an Edit button? As a mod I see other options one of which is Delete, but I don't know if that's also available to users during the first 48 hours? If not, you can click Report on your own posts and ask for them to be deleted (although mods generally won't delete something if the thread's continuity is affected by it.)

I usually edit my post to something like "--Deleted--" then use the report post link to ask a mod to then delete the whole post.

I’ll confess I have added a . when I wish I had a delete button.
We don’t, just report or edit.
I thought report was for when someone was violating the rules.
So I edit down as blank as I can with is .
I’ll write deleted in the future.
I wonder why we can’t delete on these boards- we can on II community.
And the quote feature lets responders save the post in case some one edits or could delete.

The ability to delete existed early on when the boards were migrated to Xenforo. I use the "Report" function to request my posts to be deleted when I post in error. These just go into a queue for the moderators to review.

If I'm remembering correctly on the old boards there were a few people who enjoyed getting into spirited discussions but if they were proven incorrect later, they'd go back and edit/delete all of their posts, making themselves look good but in the process destroying any continuity in the threads. That's why the Edit button is only workable during the first 48 hours after a post, and I think why deleting can now only be done by moderators.

The Report button is for what you say it is - to report violations or objectionable comments. But it also serves to call immediate attention by any mods/Admin to any post for any reason, so if ever you want to edit/delete something you've posted, please feel free to use it. When you click it you're given a field to note exactly why you're sending in the report, and if your request is denied you'll get an explanation. As far as I know, there's no risk of being somehow flagged for requesting too many edits/deletes of your own posts.

I can assure you, it didn't usually make them look good....
