I aint makin this a suggestion cause I don't know if its possible but if it is i feel like we should let people delete their own posts incase they make mistakes or regret something it just seems like a nice quality of life thing ya know

[Bbstine]

i know it sounds hypocritical and all because obviously i can hide my posts and stuff from the public

however, you should always think before you post

The main reason I would say no to deletion of own posts would be due to the fact that it would circumvent things such as suggestions/applications after processing.

 

For example we will make up a community member named "John"

1. John makes a fantastic suggestion that gets a lot of great community feedback and would be a fantastic addition.
2. John gets annoyed that he was yelled at by another community member and deletes his suggestions that are in pending.
3. We now have lost the suggestion as it will be perma-deleted.

This could also happen with Applications to get around the rule of 1 application per 30 days and if you don't like the feedback you're getting, you could delete your post and repost it.

What if we can delete comments instead of main posts.

Eh, forseen pretty much summed it up.

If you need to retract something, like say, feedback or a vote on an application, just edit the comment to say Void

Doesn't stop the dumbs...

There’s always the option to simply ask a Forum Mod or whoever else to hide something for you. Especially for things like misclicks and what not.

You can use @ Forum Mod & @ Forum Admin for that reason

@Craigaryi’d like to hear your opinions of this matter.
