I just made some posts and I don't see where you can edit them. Can you?

If I have safety and security concerns about something I wrote in a post, can I have it removed?

Edit Your Post
Navigate to the post you would like to edit.
At the bottom of the post, you'll see the "Edit" button (looks like a little pencil).


Edit your text.
Click "Submit Post" and your changes will appear along with a timestamp stating when you made the edits.
Note: You have to have at least five posts and be a member for at least one day before you get post editing privileges. There is a time limit on editing posts. You can edit your posts within two hours of posting. After that, your post is locked for editing and the editing icon will not show up. If you need your post to be edited in a later date you should contact one of the site's moderators.

Actually I'm not able to see the pencil under new posts even though I've made more than 5...

I seem to be unable to delete a post I have made, even within seconds. I can edit but not delete. I feel like an idiot,

Could someone please help?

Thanks,

Mia

There isn't an option for deleting a post. In general, to maintain the flow of threads and avoid confusion, we don't like to have posts deleted. If there's a problem, please flag the post in question for the Moderating Team to review. Thanks. :)

We are not permitted to delete our own posts, I have just found out.

Click on the flag next to the edit pencil and one of the moderators

"will review" what you would like to delete.
