<p>Yup. I don’t believe that it is possible to delete a post.</p>
<p>From a few years back:</p>
<p>This is really a two part issue. First, all posts have a limited edit window so that members can’t change their posts after others have replied. “I’d never do that!” you say… perhaps YOU wouldn’t, but I’ve seen it happen many times in communities where the edit time is too long. People make a hasty post, or state something incorrectly, and go back and fix it after others have pointed out the problem; good for the first post, but then the replies look misguided.</p>
<p>The longer term issue is the purpose of CC - we expect the threads to be a lasting archive of information for both present and future members. We’re like Wikipedia in that respect, but we’re in the form of a discussion forum. If we let members remove their posts in the middle of lengthy discussions, the integrity of the threads would be compromised. In many cases, the thoughtful replies of other members that took them a long time to write would be rendered meaningless. So, in fairness to the members who took the time to participate in the same threads as you, as well as future generations of CCers, we can’t mass-delete posts.</p>
<p>OK, what CAN I do? At any time, you can edit your profile to change, hide, or remove any identifying information.</p>
<p>If you posted some EXTREMELY sensitive information (like your SS number - yes, it’s been done), use the “report post” link with a short explanation so that the content can be edited. Please do NOT report posts that you simply regret, like calling everyone at BigState U a moron - our mods are all volunteers, and we don’t have the resources to chase down posts that members decided they didn’t like.</p>
<p>Getting CC Emails You Don’t Want?You can also unsubscribe from any thread or forum notifications, and/or change your notification preferences by editing your profile.</p>
<p>Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!</p>
