How long does it take a mod to delete a question?

Asked by Roadtodebt (534points) August 24th, 2017 from iPhone

I’ve asked a mod to delete a question that gained a lot of personal responses that I don’t really want online, I asked a mod to delete it before then I deleted the account in hopes the question would be deleted but they seem to be refusing to delete it, who can I contact?

At the upper right of page, just to the left of the search window, you will see a “Contact the Mods” button. Click it and leave them a message with your request and a link to the question you want deleted. The next time a mod is on duty, they will see your message.

Do what @Espiritus_Corvus said, although it isn’t guaranteed that your question will be deleted, unless you provide the mods with a good reason. The policy here is that we don’t delete any question, every question is meant to provide everyone information.

No guarantee with questions being deleted.

especially if it was asked by a jelly with a different name

I can show proof of the email confirmation if they need me to, I have it in my email for the other account, I just wasn’t aware we couldn’t delete our own questions and it was very personal

Edit: I do not feel safe keeping it posted.

Who can I contact above the mods?

If you don’t want to hear the answer, don’t ask the question.

I don’t think there is anyone to delete your second account question.

@Tropical_Willie why are you so rude? I’m just asking for help, I don’t see any warning : your question cannot and will not be deleted or I would of never asked it.

Roadtodebt's avatar

You don’t have to continue answering

Clearly these mods have all the capability to delete any question they want.

Tropical_Willie's avatar

Not rude

Those are rules in Jellyland & Fluther. I didn’t write the rules.

Roadtodebt's avatar

Really? You sure do act like you do. I’ve seen questions deleted, they can do it and there’s no warning that your question cannot be deleted thanks for no help at all.

I’ve seen your other question and it is highly unlikely the mods will delete a question. They don’t delete questions because a member decides they wish they hadn’t posted it. So unless you have a very good reason, they’re not going to delete your question and jumping up and down about it, won’t encourage them to do so.

I only show that you’ve asked 2 questions. It looks like they deleted it.

Looks like the mods deleted her question because she got so angry ~

Roadtodebt's avatar

No, sadly they have not.

Mimishu1995's avatar

Then where are the questions?

Earthbound_Misfit's avatar

She asked the question under a different name.

Roadtodebt's avatar

It was under a different user

Roadtodebt's avatar

and I’m not angry, I just don’t feel comfortable having the question online, and didn’t appreciate that it amused everyone that I didn’t know I couldn’t delete my own question.

@Roadtodebt I know you don’t want your questions to be here, but you are a member of this site, you have to understand and respect the rules of the site. This site aims to keep all legitimate questions up for future users to refer to. Questions are deleted because they violate the rules. The mods aren’t Gods, they abide to the rules too.

If you want your questions to be deleted, please provide the mods with a good reason why your questions shouldn’t be on the site. “Because I don’t feel comfortable seeing the questions” isn’t a good reason seriously, if you don’t want to see your questions, why make it public on the internet anyway?

Getting angry at users for not providing the answer you want to hear doesn’t solve anything something you are doing now even though you claim not to.

Dutchess_III's avatar

The mods have deleted a couple of questions of mine because I asked them too.
If they don’t they’ll send you a message explaining it. They just haven’t seen your request yet

Roadtodebt's avatar

@Dutchess_III They’ve responded now stating they don’t see the question, I’ve responded back letting them know it was a different username and what happened =| time will tell, I suppose. Thank you!

Dutchess_III's avatar

I’ll flag it for you too.

Roadtodebt's avatar

@Dutchess_III I appreciate that, thank you so much.
