RE: What to do if you want to delete a post?

in #steemhelp9 years ago (edited)

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 ;)

Sort:  

of course your "old" post will continue to live on the blockchain but only viewable now from the cli_wallet "experts" and not the "public" steemit users ;)

I just saw the "topic" can't be changed with edit, so my technique would cause some "downvotes" I guess... of course maybe less than leaving it unchanged...
The dev's could easily change that and let us edit the topic/TAGS also, for more reasons than just deleting/hiding a post

Yes, being able to edit the topic and tags may be a good idea.

Contact the developers to Steemit because this is a design flaw which a competitor can take advantage of. A Steemit clone with delete functions and better access control would definitely catch on. Steemit is very nice and a breakthrough but at the same time permanent blockchain storage of all posts seems wasteful.

Why not use a simple DHT with permissions?

Thanks for the ideas. This post is no big deal and I don't mind it being permanent, but I thought I'd ask out of curiosity.

Yeah tried to delete a post today as i missed adding a picture to my post, i cant find a delte button anywhere its daft.

Yeah, we really need one

@liondani sir you are right but if this article is caught by cheetah then you can edit you article by this method

Cheetah is a scam to get curation rewards

it is a very big scam

Hi Liondani, could you please let me know where the edit button is? I just posted by mistake twice my introduction post thinking it hadn't been through and I can't see it. Thanks!!!

I need an edit button too! Please add one, dear devs!

Dear friend @liondani what to do when my post will hide automatically😥
