You can't Delete Being an Ass.
So true! This alone should end the name-calling and childish behavior I sometimes see here.
Don't Say Anything that Can Be Used Against You.
I'm sure I fail at this often. I post controversial things because I enjoy the process of talking out my ideas and hearing counter-opinions. I'm sure I'll lose business opportunities in the future because of things I've written here others strongly disagree with. To me, that's a cost/benefit analysis. That might not also be what you're taking about though. If I put something here which was fraudulent or immoral, then it could be used against me, and it would be justified.
As of the last hardfork, there's an option to temporarily make archived posts editable. I'm hoping @jesta will play around with those options on ChainBB and that eventually the Steemit interface will support it as well. Even then, ultimately, everything we ever post here is here forever somewhere on the blockchain. For me, that means staying humble and being quick to apologize when I screw up.
I didn't know about that update, Very Cool!
I say things that will lose fans as well but heh, we have to be ourselves.
Actually internet never forgets so if you write stuff anywhere it may not be possible to erease it :)
Loads of people and bots do screens and copies of everything they read
