Why can’t my post be deleted by me?

Forum rules.. can be edited only.

Mods can remove your post.

Thanks, nexon. 

That’s what I realised.  

I can understand it’s problematic to allow users to delete posts that have received replies — or perhaps even for posts that have no replies, but have been read by many and linked to from elsewhere.  

But it seems OK (in my opinion) to allow users to delete their own posts if there have been no replies — and perhaps within a ‘short’ timeframe (5 min, or 1 h, or 24 h, say).

Hi @DIVERSE,

the best way is to report your post and request deletion. It may take some time, but one of the moderators will take care of it.

Hello @DIVERSE, 

Additional information: posts & replies, can be edited (not deleted), for up to one hour, after either are first saved; after that, any modifications can only be done by Moderators or Community Admin.

With the scenario you’re suggesting, spammers & trolls could have a field day. 

Thank you🙏
