What to do if you want to delete a post?
A little while ago, I posted what I thought was a fun article about the Netflix show 'Black Mirror' in the 'random' section.  Someone kindly pointed out that this was *old news* and downvoted it.  I looked again and sure enough, this article was from Sept. 2015, so I admitted that this was a mistake.  It was downvoted again, and I kind of want to delete it so that I don't risk getting downvoted for something silly that I posted a while ago.

What should I do if I'd like to delete a post from steemit?  I know it will remain on the blockchain, but say I just want it not to show up on the frontend anymore, and I'd rather just get rid of it than change the text to 'deleted' or edit it to make something new.  Is this an option or is it in the plans for the future?

Was thinking about this just now also...  Are all of the posts, comments, and interactions  'forever' saved in the blockchain, which is public? Frightening thought, to be honest. I like having a sense of control, I don't really want an immutable ledger of my thoughts or mood on one day that I may regret later.

I actually think it may be a design flaw to store everything permanently on the blockchain. Smarter would be to give access control rights to the owner of the power. This could be done through permissions of course and this would guarantee data ownership to the person who posted it. But of course the people who designed Steemit had a different opinion and are going with a similar design to IPFS which again may be flawed.

While I do not like censorship I also don't think everything should automatically be permanent. The person who controls the post should be able to remove access rights to it and while this isn't a delete it would be similar to revoking access keys. It could probably be done even on Steemit if Steemit chooses to integrate with Storj or something similar for the datastore or use a DHT instead of the blockchain but the blockchain was chosen.

This is not the first design which uses the blockchain either. There was Bitmessage which had an even better design than Steemit but Bitmessage was not accessible from the web which may have made all the difference. Also Bitmessage cannot scale either so even if the design was nice from a privacy perspective it could never scale.

Shit. I wish I would have realized there's no going back after putting out a post. Makes you think long and hard about posting anything, especially personal.

Now, at july 16, steem takes of, and this is still not possible. Ok, its on the blockchain forever, but this does not mean to show a ''deleted" public on steemit forever.

And whats is with illegal content?

edit your post and title and erase the content and use topic "spam" for your "new" post

PS the dev's could give us a "delete" button option that would do something similar and... hide/delete our post  ;)

of course your "old" post will continue to live on the blockchain but only viewable now from the cli_wallet "experts" and not the "public" steemit users  ;)

I just saw the "topic" can't be changed with edit, so my technique would  cause some "downvotes" I guess... of course maybe less than leaving it unchanged...
The dev's could easily change that and let us edit the topic/TAGS also, for more reasons than just deleting/hiding a post

Thanks for the ideas.  This post is no big deal and I don't mind it being permanent, but I thought I'd ask out of curiosity.

Contact the developers to Steemit because this is a design flaw which a competitor can take advantage of. A Steemit clone with delete functions and better access control would definitely catch on. Steemit is very nice and a breakthrough but at the same time permanent blockchain storage of all posts seems wasteful.

Why not use a simple DHT with permissions?

steemit.....wants NO delete option....everything you do and say now shows up in Google to promote their web site....so if someone googles your name, they can read everything in Steemit you wrote for years back....otherwise....forget using steemit....

De todos modos editar el nombre y el contenido de los artΓ­culos si se puede. ΒΏPor cierto, alguien le ha echado un ojo a la red social "Paymeabit"?
