iva28051996, you really need to shorten that handle; there are far too many numbers in there. Honestly, just open a new account—it’s the simplest solution.
There’s actually a specific thread on Reddit dedicated to situations just like this one. Everything you need to know is laid out clearly in the first two posts. As for why nobody is getting back to your emails or DMs, I suspect they haven't even been seen yet; we’ve been dealing with some technical glitches regarding messaging lately, specifically where things aren't reaching their destination properly.
Now that you've posted here, just hang tight until rustydrifter10 sees the thread, and you can get everything sorted out with them.
No, you can't just go around deleting posts and threads whenever you feel like it, and that’s never going to change. No, logging out doesn't magically wipe your post history. Though, if by "logging out" you actually mean deleting your entire profile, let me stop you right there—that isn't an option here either.
This forum isn't Facebook. It operates on a completely different concept, with a totally different way of engaging and presenting oneself. Here, you are an anonymous participant unless you choose to step out of the shadows at your own risk. On Facebook, they force you to use your legal first and last name, and if you try to hide behind an alias, you can pretty much expect to get banned sooner or later.
Do you see the distinction now? You are comparing apples to oranges.
Everything you need to know is laid out in the forum rules—the terms you agreed to the moment you registered. If someone can't stomach the rules, they should just walk away and forget this place exists.
And for the record, on anonymous corners of the internet like this one, we don't bother with formal titles. We all speak casually. That's the beauty of anonymity.
Editing posts is only allowed within a very tight window. Whether you're on Reddit or any other message board, letting people go back and change things days or even months later—once the conversation has moved miles past the original point—would just create total chaos and open the door for people to manipulate their words. Besides, once a discussion gets rolling, nobody is actually circling back to re-read old entries anyway.
If you realize you cited someone incorrectly (or misnamed a company, as you put it), the standard procedure is to simply post a new reply. You can always quote your previous mistake to clarify that you were wrong and provide the correct details. That way, everyone following the thread gets an immediate notification of the update and sees the corrected info right away.
There you have it; question answered. Best regards.
