This guy is a thinker. Why bother even posting here if you're gonna delete all your questions after you get answers? Place would be like a joke book with only the punchlines visible.
good day.

I just mean for something that wouldn't really help anybody else or I post something and then decide that's not what I wanted to do or did it in error. Twice now I've had to cleat a post out then ask for it to be deleted.. Also if I'm selling something and I want to do a fresh repost without having 50 comments on it already.
And I don't get your punchline?? There's nothing visible after you delete the main post. Everything is gone
I like day old mans idea, to be reviewed by moderator, that would be better than nothing
Good day to you....
:cheers:

Well, you never know what might be useful to somebody else. Even very unique specific issues get repeated now and again.

So you want to be able to delete other people's posts as well? As a person who routinely helps out on questions I definitely would not appreciate my posts getting deleted because the OP nuked the thread. Especially if I am looking to find an answer for someone, do real world research, then come back and am pulling out my hair because I can't find the thread. If you notice every time a mod removes a thread, even they leave a notice in it's place that it was pulled, so we know what happened to it.

OK fair enough, maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. I can see reasons for an author not to be able to delete his own posts or in its entirety either, but we should be able to at least modify the Original subject line without having to create a new post then pending moderator approval. If I'm selling something for $100 and everyone's seen the post, generally they are probably not going to read it again, but I should be able to put a lower price in the subject line to attract attention to it again..

You can change the subject line.

Pretty sure if you modify your first post in a thread you can change the subject.
