Thread:Feedback/Can't really remove own posts

Sometimes I'll comment on a discussion page… then realize that I'm saying something redundant, that I was confused, or otherwise deciding that the world would be better off without my comment. I can currently just wipe my message, which leaves it in the historical record, but removes it from the discussion for anyone not history spelunking.

I don't see any way to do that in LiquidThreads as is. This is a subset of the message hiding limitation mentioned in another thread, but I think an fairly common one. I don't think giving users the ability to page-delete messages they started makes sense, because we should preserve the history (otherwise I can taunt you then delete the messages and deny doing it) but it should really be possible to make a posted message invisible with nothing more than a subtle historical record left behind.
