Answer 7

Hi, there.

There used to be a feature where the asker could delete their own question in the past. However, this was abused really badly. Users would cheat on tests and then delete their posts so they could not get caught as easily. Users would violate the CoC and TaC and then delete their own posts. This would make it harder on moderators to have people breaking the rules and then deleting the mess they made.

However, if you need a post to be deleted, then if it is your post, kindly message a moderator to delete it for you. Remember, they do not have to delete it just because you said to. If they don't delete the post, you might as well start posting vlugarities on the post and then tell the moderator to come. They'll delete it for you and give you a nice suspension with it.

Just remember, there really is no reason to delete a post unless the post is spam by itself. And deleting questions that you have asked could be helpful to future people who search up the same thing. So sometimes deleting the post you made is harmful as other people could have benefitted from them if you didn't delete it.

Also remember, if you want a moderator to delete all your questions asked or answered, they will not do it as that is too much work on them and they have a lot of reports to go get through.

Thanks for asking your question, and have a great day :p
