| Nov 4, 2019 at 3:05 | comment | added | Jeff Schaller Mod | I answered in the spirit of "hasty or wrong answers" and over-reacting. Disassociation is discussed here, and starts just like mosvy said: with the Contact link at the bottom of that post's page. While deleting wrong or hasty posts is the right thing to do, I'll say that seeing red boxes of deleted posts brings me zero joy. | |

This is called "gamification": it drives "user engagement", and consequently the profits of the site's owners. 2 More to the point, while you can't delete them, you probably can anonymize some of your posts, so they be dissociated from your account, but I don't know the exact procedure. The mods know it but as you see, they wouldn't tell you (see point 1 ;-)). Try opening a ticket from the "Contact" link near the left bottom of any page. | |

| Oct 31, 2019 at 22:29 | comment | added | terdon Mod | I'm embarrassed of some of them, sometimes for being hasty about answering and after seconds or minutes I realize that I'm (very) wrong.: that happens to absolutely everyone! it has certainly happened to me often enough. Don't worry about it, we all make mistakes. That you realized your mistake and deleted it just makes you look even better. | |
