Can moderators edit or delete posts?

My brother tragically took his own life about six months ago. I actually shared some details about it on this thread and also on the page following that one... if someone could please delete those two or three posts for me...

Why is nobody helping? Is a human life really worth so little that the mods can't even bother to delete a few posts?

You’ve been warned multiple times regarding these requests. It was made perfectly clear that we don't just go around deleting posts or entire threads upon request; you said you understood and promised to stop asking. Yet, here you are again, bothering moderators who have absolutely nothing to do with the specific subforums where these posts live, still demanding we wipe things away.

Let me be blunt, and I speak for my fellow moderators as well: moderation isn't a concierge service for forum users. You aren't the only person who might change their mind six months or a year down the line and suddenly regret something they wrote. That doesn't mean this forum is going to be butchered and gutted by deletions every time someone's mood shifts or their life circumstances change.

Get a grip. If those old posts bother you that much, then stop reading them. Move on to the new discussions and actually participate in the current conversations.
