In summary, the conversation is about a person feeling embarrassed about their posts and wanting to delete them and possibly their account. They are told that per the guidelines, the content and account cannot be deleted upon request, but they can change their username for anonymity. The person expresses frustration and wishes they never joined the forum.

I feel embarrassed about what I post and I want to delete it. But I can't do it. Is there anyway for me to delete that post or should I ask the admins about deleting it? Also after the post is deleted I want to delete my account if it is possible. Please don't say you can just go away because we all know that it is not the same. (I also want to remove myself from internet as much as I can)

Per our guidelines we won't delete your content or account upon request. What we can do is change your username. PM me with an alternative.

So what you are saying is that I have no control over what I post here and I also don't have the ability to delete my own account?

That is correct. As stated in the guidelines what you post here should be seen as permanent and for the greater good. As I said, if it's anonymity you are after there are things we can do like change your username, avatar etc.

Sure you have - when you post. Then you can edit your post for some limited time, not sure what it is now (used to be several hours).

and I also don't have the ability to delete my own account?

That's part of the forum rules you agreed to when registering.

Thanks. I wish I never even joined here in the first place. I will take the anonymity then.

2. Will deleting my previous posts also delete them from other people's feeds?
