RE: Who else wants to be able to delete posts on Steemit??? by mstang83

As the system is now, I believe you can edit until the post is archived. After that, it's permanent.

I suspect even if you could mark a post as deleted, it couldn't really ever be. The reason? That's the way a blockchain is designed. When you make an edit, you are really making another corrected post and the old post data is still in the blockchain.
