How does one delete scottish excrement?

[Telo]

You know, the sort of scottish excrement you write in reply to crap, but you've accidentally hit the new post button instead of the reply one?

You can edit your post for up to 60 minutes from posting - there should be an edit button.

Aye, but there's the rub. On some of the forums, including this one, there's a wee message down the bottom right hand side that says

• You cannot delete your posts in this forum

.

But you can edit it so all it says is 'post deleted by Shard' or something similar. I think it is quite a good safety feature to prevent people posting something vitriolic then deleting it shortly afterwards leaving no trace. Alternatively you can PM the mods who will delete it for you.

Should not be able to delete in my opinion. If you were thinking it strongly enough to write it - espacially at the snails pace that you both think and type - then publish and be damned
You Wuss
