Why Isn't There A Way To Delete Past Posts On Nairaland by Pretend: 5:57am On May 04, 2021
Most social media or platform has this feature of being able to delete your post paraventure you don't want it linger or indexed forever on their database.
But here, I notice u may deactivate, but you can't find option to delete your previous posts if you so wish. And even after deactivating, your moniker is still obvious on posts or replies you were quoted.
I think it's not so right, and can give away one's privacy and probably a reason we may have to be wary of what we post here, defeating the purpose of being a faceless forum.
Or is there a way to delete that I don't know of?

No Mod will delete your post for you.

That's why there's a disclaimer at the bottom of the page that you're responsible for what you put here.

Why do you think people create new accounts to make sensitive and personal posts?

Social media provides improvement on content and features on yearly basis. The Facebook we knew in 2000 is not the same today. Twitter adds and remove features, Instagram etc. YouTube is become almost everything. Nairaland has been stuck in stage of development since 2005, no new features, no apps, no improvement. Just the same it has been that you begin to wonder if the owners have foresight at all.
