mobichubbf Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Is there a way to edit posts on here? I saw: If you have registered and are logged in, you may be able to edit and delete your posts (although the administrator may have turned off this option). Your ability to edit your posts may be time-limited, depending on how the administrator has set up the forum. To edit or delete your posts, click the Edit Post button by the particular post. If your post was the first in the thread, then deleting it may remove the entire thread. So I'm just not sure if I'm missing it or not Quote
barebro Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 I was wondering the same thing. The FAQ implies that it may be possible but isn't totally clear. Quote
barebro Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 Oh, well look at that. My post immediately above this one has an "Edit Post" button that none of my other posts have. I guess this is something that is only allowed in this particular forum? I wonder why that is? Quote
Administrators rawTOP Posted September 26, 2012 Administrators Report Posted September 26, 2012 You can edit your posts for a few minutes after you post them. Then they become locked. The reason is because you wouldn't want someone changing their post substantially since it could alter the flow of the conversation and the posts below it may not make sense after the edit. Quote
lostsheol Posted October 21, 2015 Report Posted October 21, 2015 Can we ask for posts to be deleted? I have posted two things I'd like removed. Any way to help? Quote
Moderators drscorpio Posted October 22, 2015 Moderators Report Posted October 22, 2015 Can we ask for posts to be deleted? I have posted two things I'd like removed. Any way to help? We generally do not allow posts to be deleted for the same reasons rawTOP stated above for why you can only edit for a few minutes. Quote
funnsundaytona Posted October 29, 2016 Report Posted October 29, 2016 If I delete my membership will it remove my posts? I think it's crazy that you can't remove a post. My ex hacked my account, made a yuck post and identified my kik. I do not want to have to delete my Kik in order to not get responses. Quote

Deleting your membership (something you can't actually do), doesn't delete posts since it would make the site completely confusing since threads depend on a continuity of discussion. Moderators can edit posts to remove personally identifying information. Just click on "Report Post" above the post and say what the problem is. 1 Quote
funnsundaytona Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 So there is no way to remove your membership, if you choose to do so? I find it hard to believe that the administrators don't possess the ability to remove someone's name and profile from the site if they wish it. Is this explained when someone signs up? 1 Quote

I agree that it seems crazy to not be able to delete a profile. I have no intention of doing so cos i enjoy this site too much but there definitely should be that possibility. What happens if a member requests that? Quote

First of all, your entire contribution to the site at this point consists of 3 posts, so I am not certain why you are so concerned about your posts going away. When you need something changed in a post, go to the post with the mistake/offending information in it and report it. I deleted your Kik handle from your post like you wanted. Quote
funnsundaytona Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Thank you for removing my kik info. I just think it is very strange you are unable to cancel your membership. I have never joined any group online that did not allow you to cancel and remove yourself from the membership if you desired. It's just strange. 1 Quote

Bigbottomstpaul Posted May 12, 2022 Report Posted May 12, 2022 My phone was recently stolen and cracked and they posted private pictures in a thread. I was wondering if the moderators could go and delete the pictures or thread along with any of my info given Quote
