Deleting Posts
Can anyone tell me if it possible to delete your stories on here ? Can't delete my account, the next best thing is deleting what I have posted.

I don't think you can delete posts unfortunately.
What you could do, is edit your posts to something more discrete, OR, simply replace your content with "Deleted", as they tend to get ignored and pardoned.
I've also noticed that the first category can't be changed.
Wishing you the best...
Thankyou x
This is just the website interface between the steemit blockchain. Every post gets mined and solidified into the steemit blockchain for as long as steemit lives on. Now the website may go down from time to time or for good for that matter , but all the website is is a window to the content recorded on the blockchain. Much like how bitcoin transactions are permanent and irreversible. If I send bitcoin to another address the tranaction block and all its info is recorded forever in bitcoin blockchain history. So a post is much like a bitcoin transaction in that way i guess. Ethereum on the other hand is reversible in some instances as we have recently witnessed.
Can only edit within the voting window - once the 24 hours has passed - they are locked in
