Ask HN: How can I remove my submissions?

4 pointstupsi3 comments

How can I remove my submissions or delete my account?

If your submission/comment is older than 2 hours old, your ability to delete it expires. I'm also pretty sure you can't delete your account so that your comments that you don't delete within 2 hours or that admins don't delete remain on the record.

Can I contact the admin to have my submissions deleted. I really need to.

I'm sure there's no harm in trying: http://ycombinator.com/contact.html - whether or not they'll do anything about it is a different question since there are good reasons why they wouldn't want to let people 'revise history' or 'interrupt the conversation' which is more or less what the site seems to be about.
