No one will believe me, but I had this feature on a BBS I wrote back in about 1986 or 1987. I cannot prove it because the code no longer exists. I had a problem user that kept posting junk to the forum. I deleted things for a while and then thought of this as a solution. It seemed to work. The user never knew that no one else could see those posts.
- apotatopot 7y agoI believe you.
- pipingdog 7y agoAs a BBS user in the 80s I believe you. It was a common feature, usually referred to as the twit bit.
- jeltz 7y agoSince it is such an obvious idea which was common much later on bulletin boards, I think that your claim is believable.
