Deleting/Editing old posts
OP - May 16, 2014, 12:10 PM

Hello there, sorry if this has an obvious answer, but I can't seem to delete/edit my old posts. I want to do this for anonymity's sake. Thank you

Hello. After a few days, posts are no longer editable. This is to preserve the flow of the conversation which is rendered useless to anyone reading the thread, if the posts in it have been gutted.

If you have a serious security concern, one of the moderators will gladly edit your old posts where you shared any personal information. Please start a thread in the Private Feedback forum with links to the posts you are concerned about.

IMHO it's not a good idea. Anyways, whatever you think best.

It makes good sense to me.
If you really need to "edit" your post, just issue a new post and offer it as a correction of its predecessor.

My mind runs, I can never catch it even if I get a head start.
