we just can not delete posts published at steemit...

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Hello, I just do not know how to delete a post published at steemit, question 1: can we delete our post?

So I got a reply from @gomeravibz who said that CLEARLY that WE CAN NOT DELETE OUR POSTS published at steemit.

here comes the question 2: If we erase the content of our post, will the earlier content of the post be "erased"?

someone say we can delete posts by this:
edit your post and title and erase the content and use topic "spam" for your "new" post
PS the dev's could give us a "delete" button option that would do something similar and... hide/delete our post ;)

but it does not work

Hello @balcktranquility !! to answer your question well its no !! As this is the blockchain ! Once you post something it is there for good ! No delete possible ! So the best way to delete something you wish you had not written is to do it as you write before you post ! As once you hit the submit button it will be there for all to see.Its the nature of the blockchain and to my mind it is a good thing as censorship from outside is not possible !! I wish you luck with your new posts and dont worry we have all posts here I think that we would like to see removed now !! Steem On !)

There is a delete button. But it only works when 1) your post has no reply 2) your post has a zero potential payout (before rounded). That said, down-vote it, then try to delete, if still can't delete, try ask others to help down-vote for you.

//Edit: and it works only before first payout.
