Moderator! I humbly request your assistance in my plight!

[Kiotira]

Hello.

Since there is literally no PM function to this forum, I've resorted to posting my request here to get the help of a Moderator.

I desperately need to have an old post of mine removed: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...35#post3707035

Personal info and long story aside, it's a very troublesome post for me to leave up in plain sight. So, for obvious reasons, I desperately ask of you to please delete this for me! I am unable to locate any such function to delete a post, and tech support told me to come here and ask for help.

Please get back to me soon! Many thanks in advance.

Could I please get a Moderator's support with my issue? Many thanks!

You posted your concern in Technical help, and the moderator has already taken care of the issue it seems. They have moved it to the Closed Issues thread, a thread that most likely isn't even a place where players go to look for information (since closed threads can't be replied to, so it's a waste of people's time to even go there).

Unless your post is crossing the line and needs to be deleted, I do not think it'll be removed, but at least it'll be in a area most forum users never go to...well..besides the fact you linked it anyway.

May I suggest you google "Streisand effect" ?

That old post of yours would have been seen by very few people, and even fewer if any would have had any reason to seek it out.
Now? By requesting that it be removed you have caused a lot of people to become aware that the old post exists, and plenty of people will have looked at it just to see what the fuss is about.

Pretty sure you can just edit the post and click delete. Or maybe that doesn't work for thread starters?

Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

We apologize for any inconvenience that has occurred when playing Final Fantasy XIV. Unfortunately the issue you are describing is not a technical issue. I will be moving this thread to "General Discussion".


Hope to see you online!

I don't see any personal information on that post

Bless you. I was wondering if that had a term or not.

Thanks for your input everyone. However, my concern is of the post existing at all in the first place. I shouldn't have to get personal here to simply delete a post of mine. Any other forum I've used in the past had this option as a standard.

That post is a terrible reminder of a dark era in my past and is rather troublesome for me to know it still exists. I simply request that it be deleted immediately.

This is something very simple to take care of and yet I don't have a way to do it myself, privately.

Moderator, thank you for your guidance above. Could you please instead assist me with my original plea?
