I just want to call out this piece from the post at the top. If you think you need something deleted, follow this:

paul wheaton wrote:Here is my advice if you want help along these lines:

1:  Post your request as a new thread to the tinkering forum instead of sending emails or even PMs.   This way, it can be seen and processed faster as well as all of the active staff can see it at the same time and be able to discuss it.   It also verifies that you are the author of the post in question, rather than requiring us to do a lot of research to try to figure that out.

2:  Phrase your request as a request, not a demand.  

3:  no threats.

4:  no insulting the site, the people on the site, the policies, etc.

This does not guarantee that you will get what you want, but it does improve the odds.   We don't have any hard rules about this stuff, because valid reasons that crop up are often things we have never heard of before.   So I guess our general, squishy policy is that we don't delete stuff, but once in a long while, we have been convinced to make an exception.



And also, make the request from the same account that made the post in question. If you can't do that, then make a post in Tinkering about that situation first.

Often times, starting a thread in the tinkering is a better path than using the report button.
