I posted something a while ago, and I was wondering if there was any way to delete it.. Just wondering.

Once you've contributed to a community, you can't take it back. However, if you've posted something that will adversely affect your privacy, message a Staff member with the relevant details and we'll endeavour to remove it for you.

May I add that directly asking a member of Staff will not change this unless it affects your privacy, as Grum said.

there's no privacy issue, it was just something that changed drastically since i posted.. but it's not a huge deal.
thanks!

The reason we don't delete every thread/post that is requested to do so is simple. QA is meant to reflect real life interactions as much as possible. Keeping this in mind, if you say something in a real interaction it can't be taken back. This is the same reason you can only edit a post an hour after it's creation. It gives you a chance to edit any spelling or grammatical errors, but doesn't give you the ability to delete it after you think about what you've posted. I hope that makes sense

I seem to have triple posted somewhere. Stupid me, I know. But I can't delete them.

I believe Grum & co. got a system in place a while back that automatically removes duplicate posts, as long as they're still duplicates and haven't been edited to say, for example, "oops double post." So if you double/triple post you should be able to just leave it alone and the situation will be rectified soon.
Hearts don't follow the rules of logic.

It's always weird to read posts you made from a long time ago .... anyway..
Just to reiterate, if you make a double (or triple) post, don't edit any of the text in either post (to state that it was a double post) and the system should clean it up.
PS: Way to use your resources before posting a new topic, Leo. Much appreciated.
