You can flag it and ask the mods to delete it. They might agree and do it, but I’ve had a couple they said they didn’t want to delete. You put it out there you put it out there.
(Now you know we’re going to go look for the questions he wants deleted….....)
Dudes, he asked them all today, except for one in Feb.
Look who’s talking about Perv, Corral Goat Man!
Let us take a vote. I vote that he be allowed to delete his question.
@Inconito101, you can’t delete previous questions unless you have a very good reason for needing them to be removed. Regretting asking the question is highly unlikely to meet with a successful result. You can try, but I don’t hold out much hope. This is especially true if other people responded to your question.
You’re incognito so don’t worry about it. Nobody knows you’re here :)
@Earthbound_Misfit has it right. When a question gets deleted, so do the contributions of everybody who answered that question. Several people may have put considerable time into those answers; trashing all of that isn’t something to be taken lightly. That’s also why it’s irresponsible for users to abandon questions that get sent back for editing.
But if you get luvre on it, you can go back to it by going back to your account.
@Inconito101 Was I rude to you twice? I apologize for that. I play a bit rough, but I don’t try to hurt anyone.
Hey, @Inconito101…I went back and looked through all three of the questions that you asked before this one. I didn’t see one that fit your descriptions:
You said, “My question was so long and badly separate in paragraph…”
—I didn’t see a long question. The details in the sewing Q were a bit stiff, but far from the worst I’ve seen.
”...no one bother to answer it….”
—You received several answers on all your questions.
”…one person was even rude to me for no reason”
—I can’t see where anyone was rude to you.
I did see where you said you’re only 22, so consider this: You wanted the question deleted because it embarrassed you in some way (I am assuming.) The thing is, by asking this, you caused at least one person (me) to go back and view your questions, out of curiosity.
So, in effect, by worrying about it, and asking this, you made the “problem” worse, and much more public, which is exactly what you did not want to happen.
Sometimes it’s best to say nothing at all. Just a thought for the future.
@Adirondackwannabe No not at all! I’m talking about the question i wanted to delete, when someone comment under it they were rude. You are not at all rued :)
@Dutchess_III The only reason why no one would be able to see it it’s because i hide it on my profile. So many people agreed to the fact that they wouldn’t bother to read that I had no choice to hide it. I will try to tag you, you will understand, it pathetic my case. _’’
Okay, good. I do play a bit rough but I don’t ever want to hurt someone that doesn’t deserve it.
Oh, wait. I see. You tried to hide it on your profile. I have never even noticed that option before!
Can you give me an idea of which question it was, and I can tell you if it’s hidden or not? You can PM me.
@inconito101, who cares if your question was long-winded or badly written or even if the topic was ridiculous. Sorry, but if you think any of us are judging you because of some earlier question that most people will never come across again and especially if you’ve hidden it on your profile, you’re dreaming! It might bother you, but your question is not on anybody radar. Forget about it. This might seem rude, but you’re being somewhat self-absorbed.
