Okay, I’ve made quite a few reports requesting changes to posts with information that I want removed. Hopefully this task will be accomplished.
Otherwise, if my posts aren’t changed for whatever reason, I still say we should have edit history. In the pinned thread in this forum, it states “We’re like Wikipedia in that respect” (referring to the fact that this site does not allow edit/deletion of posts in order to maintain an archive of information) Well, Wikipedia allows users to edit the articles (not delete, but edit). Yet past information is not lost, because there is an archive of all of the versions of the article after each edit was made, and people are allowed to revert the article back to one of these versions if it contains information that is substantial and relevant to the topic. An edit history on this forum would be like that, except only viewable to authorized moderators.
People do not contain the same amount of wisdom throughout their whole life. People tend to gain wisdom with experience and knowledge. With gained wisdom comes a deeper understanding of the world and the tendency to make better decisions. Since this forum did not explicitly require a minimum limit of “wisdom” for joining and participating to be considered allowable acts, it is only natural to expect that there will be desires to remove information posted in the past which may have originally seemed harmless.
