deleting posts

[Downer]

I wrote a quick comment and pressed Post but then changed my mind. However, you can't delete a post once it's sent. So I tried to report to moderator to suggest removal, but just got "You cannot report your own post, that doesn't make sense!" Might be an idea to allow it.

I did something similar this morning - replied in the wrong topic. All I could do was change the text to explain what I had done by mistake.

This is what the mysterious 'dot' is all about. I have done the same before too. However, all I could think of to do was to go back to my post and modify it into a fullstop as it wont let you leave it completely blank.

If we all did that, then some clever dick could write a process that automatically scanned every week for all posts in the last seven days that had just a dot in their text, and delete them.

Might as well just allow self reporting. The mods don't seem to have any difficulty deleting posts.

Ah!, but are they deleted?

 

[Peter Burgess]

Not necessarily, eh Chris, as I expect some might be removed to the mod's area for a future court case. Correct?

Just PM us if you want a topic deleted but we can't guarantee that it'll get deleted if there are following comments that depend on it, as it stops the forum making sense.

You can if you are a moderator  :-\
