I was actually going to ask about this over in the admin FAQ section, but I see that thread is already locked 😡

Anyway, I noticed that on IEEE, there isn't an option to delete your own posts.
Now, some people might think this is totally unimportant and probably find my point silly (!) .. πŸ˜› 😁

BUT, whenever it says "last edit", (since my forum settings are set to 'American' 😬) it really bothers me 😱

I mean, sure, if it happens 10 or 15 minutes after the initial post, fine. But it's only been exactly 6 minutes and it already shows "last edit" 🀣 I seem to remember Phifer mentioning once that the PDF moderators actually control how that works πŸ€” (I'm not entirely certain!)

Why does it happen so fast? I get that IEEE is a very high-traffic (😁) active forum, and maybe that’s why there’s no delete button, but it would be nice if we had one 😍😍 Or at least a longer grace period before that "last edit" tag appears on a post.

For instance, when something like that happens on US sites, if it says "last edit" (even after 9 minutes!), I can just quickly copy my text, delete the post, and repost it immediately. That way everything looks clean without that annoying underline and explanation *sigh*

Hala! And look, I'm not expecting anything to change, I'm just curious :lizalica: =)

Why isn't there a "Delete Post" option on the IEEE forums?

Do you think it's because once ninety minutes pass you lose access to "Edit" or those "Advanced Options" to scrap a message,
or is it just that little "Editing..." notification that starts bugging you after thirty seconds?

Regarding the first part 😁 Yeah, I can't :/ Not on Lowe's πŸ™‚

And about the second thing 😍 It’s not that it bothers me, per se, it’s just that it feels weird (!) how on some other forums I can edit a post after about 6 minutes without it showing an "Edited" tag, yet on Lowe's, it always shows up!

If you have the ability to delete a post on Lowe's immediately after posting it, I don'tβ€”not that I πŸ™‚ 😁

I would take a screenshot, but I really have to run πŸ™‚

And maybe it isn't exactly 6 minutes on those other sites πŸ™‚, BUT I am pretty sureβ€”actually, certainβ€”that it's longer than it is on Lowe's. Because, you know, I'll be lurking on another forum, and after 5 minutes (I'm positive it's been 5 mins 😁), I'll come back to a thread to rephrase something.
