Weird symbolic link behavior

[Newby]

newby@impaler:~/space/Ghoul Studio Discography$ for i in ../../mus
mus2.jpg       music/         musiclist.txt 
newby@impaler:~/space/Ghoul Studio Discography$ ls ../..                   
cdrom/   external/       floppy/  ipod/       photos/  thumbdrive/
dvdrom/  external-ntfs/  hd/      old-drive/  space/

Observe: if I push tab when I am trying to list files, I see my home directory (which makes sense, I am in ~/space/Ghoul Studio Discography); however, if I ls ../.., I see /mnt, which is not the folder I should be seeing.

Thoughts? Further weird proof is from me pushing tab after I get enough letters to complete "music", it doesn't append a '/' at the end, it appends a space as if it is a file.

More weird behavior:

newby@impaler:~/space/Ghoul Studio Discography$ for i in ../../music/Ghoul/Ghoul\ -\ 2003\ -\ Maniaxe/*.mp3; do echo "$i"; done
../../music/Ghoul/Ghoul - 2003 - Maniaxe/*.mp3

Yeah, Bash acts funny with symbolic links.  I'm not sure if there's any way around it.

I though you could delete your own post... everywhere... ?!

We've recently enabled a feature that moves "deleted" posts to the trashcan automatically.  I didn't realize this was a repercussion, but I suppose I should have. :P

In any case, that's the cause.

No, the cause is that the global default member permission set does not enable deletion of one's own posts.

I don't recall doing it, but it's likely that it was done because people were abusing it.
