Re: Ability to cancel a request

No take backs.

I'm not in favor of public control of request canceling.

I believe one can learn from their mistakes. I have even found new things I like because of them. Then again, I've also learned to be a little more cautious when making choices.

If you need something canceled, ask an Admin if one is about.

Besides.... All the music here is great!!! Not a bad song in the bunch.

It's not public control, it's private control. If I clicked the wrong one on accident, why can't I fix it? I'm not asking for the ability to cancel others' requests. That's ludicrous.

You know what I meant.

This issue for me is like putting money in a vending machine and accidentally selecting the wrong item. How much of your time is it really worth to correct that? AND How worth other people's time is it to assist you? In the grand scheme of things this is so minor.

I mean, how many times do you make a mistaken selection? If it's more than once a week, than your error rate is excessive and much more care should be taken in that process.

But, hey, I'm not the boss. It's just my opinion.

I'm not sure I do know what you meant. Yeah, it's a minor thing, but if you go back to the original post, you'll see that I said exactly that.

And for the record, I don't understand WHY it's such a big deal to prohibit someone from canceling their own request.

Of course you think it does. I said it.
