Edited from original post:

Never mind - we figured it out. But now I'd like to know how to delete my own post.

There's nothing we can do and those that can wouldn't bother. It'll just sink down into oblivion. Don't worry about it.

Edit: although...re-edit, change something, post, re-edit, change something, post. It might disappear on it's own.

@o0theresa0o You can't delete posts you can only edit them.

@o0theresa0o You can't, but I believe, Oracles or Moderators can do that here.

Oracles do not have the ability to delete a post in its entirety.

Oracles can't delete posts. We can move/hide them.

🤔with all the talk lately by Oracle's about useless threads why is the thread still in "getting started",? Two Oracle's reply but don't move the thread to lounge or hide it?

I think towels have long since been thrown in. So what the hey...join the party.

@Jb456 Seems a legitimate "how to" question from a new member. If the poster wants it hidden they could request it?

@benfatto

Guess you did not read OPs post. 😝

@benfatto

OP had a legitimate question first in "getting started" section.

Then edited title to how to delete this. As well as editing his original post out to screenshot above.

Now two Oracle's who have the ability to move or hide posts commented on thread but did not move it to lounge....which it should have been.

I think it's a reasonable question. I wouldn't have thought it should be moved. The Oracles posting the same answer is the thrown towel of what has been going on here for too long.

It seems like the OP had figured out their initial question before there were replies and edited and before responses and the secondary topic is what people have replied to with on-topic discussion.

@ShawnC13 Correct. OP resolved original issue on his own.

I see it as, OP resolved his own original question and edited entire post to what it is now.

To me it's a dead post now and should be thrown in lounge or hidden all together. Considering the recent threads of posts regarding ,"post for no reason, same reply as others hours later, etc,etc" just to build stats for Community rewards.

Had OP edited the post differently. Like:

Title: resolved

Thread: resolved.

Then for sure the post would have been moved.

Like I said people perceive posts differently. Same as sending a text to 5 people they will all read it differently and come to there own conclusion.

So this one is a good example of this as I see it as a dead post that should be moved, you guys see it as no it should stay because the edited version is actually a question. So we can say this type of post is likely like some past posts "in the lounge no less" that some thought were funny and others were offended. (Talking about Cannon Folders memes)

Anyways. Nice sunny Sunday. Everyone head out and enjoy this weather 😃

Have we really come to this? The complete opposite of what's been happening pretty much my entire time on the community? I'm the last person to want to suggest a thread belongs in the lounge but this one is a pretty good example. It certainly shouldn't be in getting started.....discussions if not the lounge. Whats it going to take a large bravoing party?

@Jb456 if you grab the red cape I'll usher out the big load of a..........bull and you can gesture with your cape. OLE! OLE! OLE! OLE! OLE! OLE!

That tag line will be forever an ongoing joke...lol

Y'mean that's not already happening?

Yes it has come to this. There has been such an overwhelming pile of crap being dumped on the community for the last couple months that the Oracles can't possibly keep up. What can they do? They don't have mod power. The mods don't monitor content. They're volunteers with barely a stipend of recompense. I'm sure they just throw up their hands in exasperation and say f it.

If it was only a joke, but sadly that gets rewarded here
