Comment on Ask HN: Why can't I delete my own posts?parent

Comments

I've seen many post headlines or sources changed afterwards. In most cases the decisions were right. Two false edits on one day are a little too much.

That's why I want to at least have the ability to delete posts that were formerly mine.

There is a time limit on that. Maybe it should be set up in such a way that if someone edits your submission you get to yank it if you disagree with the edit. Right now if the edit happens past the point where you can delete words can be put into your mouth that you never would have spoken and that is just wrong.

it should be set up in such a way that if someone edits your submission you get to yank it if you disagree with the edit.

Outstanding idea.
