How do you delete posts you have made? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

I was wondering if there is an option to delete or edit posts that one has made?

I believe you can only edit a post during the fifteen minutes after you make it. Otherwise, what you put on the forum will be left there. I bet there are some exceptions to this (like if you were a troll and you were saying awful things to other members), but even then, only the moderators/admins could delete the post.

Lesson of the Day: Review what you write before posting it.

For the first 15 minutes after posting you can edit posts. After that only a moderator can make changes or delete posts. Which posts do you want modified/deleted? If you want, feel free to Post in Ask the Staff as well.

You can click the little red/white triangle on the bottom of your user stats next to your post to alert the staff that you want it edited/deleted/etc.
