Self Post Deletion

[Eidorian]

I live in Forum Spy so it's quite easy to see what happens behind the scenes in MacRumors.

According to the FAQ you can't delete your own posts but I've seen non-moderator and administrators do it near instantaneously.

I don't expect a mod/admin to tag along a split second after a normal poster. 😉

Click edit on your post and just delete the comment.

It won't delete the entire thing, but the body of your comment will be gone.

I mean the entire post.

Forum Spy will show a post but nothing shows up when you look at the thread or user profile.

I've never seen this before.

I just read the FAQ and indeed you can't delete your own post. Something I'm guilty of..

If one can't delete their own post why is the delete button there ?

And perhaps donating gets you just a little bit more than a special user title. 😉

Only Demi-Gods have that ability.

Demi-gods are not moderators. They are members who have contributed monetarily to the site (the Demi-God title is identical to the Contributer title).

Moderators have either "Moderator" or "god" status.

Shows how much I pay attention. Been here since 2003 and still just a "regular"

Thanks for the clarification.

It's a little annoying though since you can see anything and everything from Forum Spy. 🙄

 

[Peace]

I'm just a lowly contributor.Pay $25 bucks for a Demi-God title.
But anyway the delete button is there whenever you edit the post.

Nobody see's it ?

Sadly, I can't be brought to donate to MacRumors.

No delete button here. ...You must be seeing things. 😉

Once again, only Demi-Gods (those who contribute $25 annually to the site) have a delete button.

Just one of the extra perks you can get for your donation.
