qjvgpuryy Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 As you might guess, my question is "Is there a way to delete one of my posts"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidT Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 You can delete any replies that you post, but apparently NOT the very first post. That can probably be done by a Moderator, however. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I think that's what I came to figure out also ... you can remove a post of yours as long as it's not the Topic starter. Assumption would be that the Topic and sub-posts are linked to that particular message ID number. I'll add a post to the Test Topic and see if that might change things a bit ..???

dbiel Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 And as a final clarification. The initial post (topic starter) can not be deleted at the user level even if all replies have already been deleted or if there never were any replies. The body of the initial post can be edited, but the minimum edit or new post is two characters. A series of spaces does not work, but a space followed by a single character (such as a period) will work. The best option if you want to delete your initial post if there have been no replies is to edit it, replacing all text with the phrase "deleted by user" If you what to delete your entire thread including other users replies, the best choice is to add one more reply of your own, stating that you are the topic starter and are requesting that your topic and all replies be deleted. Management has the power to delete, but they have the right to decide on their own if the request should be honored or not. Note: editing a post does not reset the "new message" flag, so adding a new reply is best if you want to get the attention of all that something has been edited. Boy do I get long winded.

StevenUnderwood Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Please keep in mind that in general all messages should be left so the next person with the same problem is likely to locate a solution without needing to post a question.

If it related to a valid question, you are very right, it should not be deleted as it may help the next person to come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
