I have always wanted to ask, Why isn't there a "post delete tool" because some information or post lose relevance after a while or they become not useful. I understand the downvote tool but this not able to delete a wrong post or mistaken post is what I don't understand.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Because the posts are stored in a block on the blockchain and once on the chain it cannot be deleted or modified. When you edit a post the original post is still there. Even if you edit and make the post empty the original post is still there and it’s possible to retrieve it.
It’s also the strength of a blockchain. If you say something in a post or comment, it’s there forever, you cannot later say that you didn’t say it.
Now I understand, That explains transparency and visibility in the blockchain. Thanks.
But On the other Hand, There is a delete Option for comments.
It’s not really deleted. Also you can only use it if the comment has not received any replies or votes. If memory serves you can also delete a post if not votes or comments have been received. But again, the original post or comment is still on the blockchain
Thanks For this informations! Keep the good work sir!
