Delete sessions from DLS

[Gary_Evans]

Is it possible to remove/delete sessions from the DLS? I have 5 sessions that are of no value to anybody because they won't run at all. Can I remove them?

Good Morning Gary
It is not possible to remove content from the DLS yourself. We can remove content, however at this time we only remove content that is either breaking the COC or has been uploaded without permission from the original author (only at the request of the original author).

So create a blank session with the same kuid number suffixed with the next version number, name it "Session now Obsolete" and remark "Prior versions of kuid xxxxxx.xxxxx are hereby obsoleted by the author." Upload that.

That could be interpreted as deliberately trying to make assets on the DLS not working and is against the CoC in some way.

My suggestion would be to fix your sessions so they work and upload those as replacement, obsoleting the not working sessions.

Thanks, Zec. I had hoped I could get rid of some unneeded clutter.

I don't see where the CoC applies to the DLS, it is for Forum and chat. It is deliberate act to obsolete by the password-validated author, so that removes the element of foul play. There is no guarantee made to DLS users that all DLS content will be forever available to them. As far as the non-working versions being the property of N3V, if that is the case, N3V can still have access to all prior versions regardless of the appearance on the DLS. The author's name and user id is non-detachable from asset, even though it is on the DLS, and therefore the author has the right to obsolete the asset, if he/she deems appropriate, to effect the representation of their work and name over the course of time.

IMHO, although you have made a good recommendation, the alternative of asking authors to fix non-working assets as compulsory may be an unreasonably laborious request as a matter of policy (ergo DLS cleanup).
