asked and answered MANY MANY MANY times. |

Didnt see it in the small amount of pages. and JESUS H CHRIST I aint been here as long as you!
Comments like davidg's, are the very reason I would want the delete option. If they disallowed a topic to be brought up anywhere here, it would get boring fast. Then what would you do davidg? |

A lot of good (and some bad) information would disappear from the site if this were allowed. In particular, posters who got pressured from a past or current employer would remove information at that employer's request. Posters who are job hunting would remove some of their old posts here, concerned that it might somehow affect their future employment with someone. Posters who want to scrub google results of their posts would remove things they've posted. Finally, posters who get ticked off momentarily would remove a significant amount of posts.
It has always seemed a bad idea to me for those reasons. |

I won't argue with that. Kinda like the comment pending approval thing on youtube to allow comments that fit ones opinion. |

It has always seemed a bad idea to me for those reasons. And for true "I wish I hadn't posted that" moments, the Edit function is there for a day or 2 to go in and edit what you posted. Of course, it would be nice if that edit was then reflected in those who replied to the post using quoted sections. |

If I remember correctly the edit function is there for 5 days. |

there is a search function, use it and you will see the last request for this was barely over a month ago. |

Do YOU see any other threads about this topic in my search link results? » /nsear ··· sts&cat=Yes bring up an old thread and hear the WHINING That its 1 or 2 years old. No wonder I got fed up and deleted my account here a few times. |

He's probably referring to this one: » [request] Give Creator of a Topic moderation rights to own Topic (though it's not the same, it's [sort of] similar). Either way, it ain't gonna happen. (Yes, it keeps coming up, but that's what the mods are for. And if you can't even edit your posts beyond 5 days, then you should expect that you wouldn't be allowed to delete them at all--and there are good reasons for that.) |

Exactly my point, if the search doesn't match exactly, it won't bring anything up. So searching is sometimes flawed. |

Deleting/reinstating your account "a few times". Apparently regularly making posts you're later embarrassed by or not willing to stand behind. Maybe taking a little time to think calmly before you post or delete your account (or reinstate it) is the way you should be going. |
