Can't figure out how to delete a post!

You guys must have intentionally made it difficult for someone to delete a post... am I missing something! :)

Is it not only the moderator that can delete a post? I think we can edit them, then it's marked as edited.

I believe you can edit for 24h or so and then it's fixed. You cannot delete posts 'by design' so you'll be careful in what you post. However, you can always ask a moderator to help you out of a spell.

But the FAQ says to Edit/Delete click on the Edit button..... (i think)

As a matter of policy, we don't delete posts. But sometimes we'll take a post (or even an entire thread) out of public view if the reason is compelling enough. Just use the "report bad post" function (the icon is found to the left of every single post) and it'll automatically go to the attention of the moderators.
