How can I contact a moderator?

Question

How can I contact a moderator?

Sorry if this seems silly, but I'd like a thread deleted and I wanted to explain why. I can't work out how to report my own thread or delete it, so I'm assuming there are moderators that I can ask?

Thanks!

Presumably you mean this thread, How I fixed missing mac from sidebar & Back to My Mac, and you are concerned about the appearance of specific numbers in strings of the form #########.members.btmm.icloud.com? I've reported it to the hosts for an edit.

Hello, I know this is an old thread but I need a post taken down as well and I am only level 1. I posted this to help out people with similar issues but in my haste I did not modify my Apple ID. I have no way of contacting a Mod. (At least after an hour of googling and clicking I haven't found one.) It also looks as though another user pasted his actual ID as well in the same thread.https://message/26922044

I will draw the attention of the Hosts (Moderators) to your post; they may contact you. Posts and threads are usually only deleted if they either breach the Terms of Use or there is a privacy issue; it's up to the Hosts what action to take.

Okay, thank you.

Surely if a thread starter would like their thread deleted for personal reasons, that should be enough of a reason?

I'm an admin on a website with 5 million users and we respect the individuals requests if they decide they would like something deleted, as it's often for good reason. It'd find it very bizarre if my request for my own thread to be deleted, was rejected.

I have decided that my alternative is to edit out every post I've written.. which isn't ideal but if I would like something that I wrote, deleted, I should be allowed to delete it.

It's between you and the hosts. Incidentally you can't edit a post after 15 minutes.

You're kidding me? Gah.

How do these hosts contact me? I dont use these forums very often.

Thank you for your help so far.

More than likely via the email address you provided when you sign up.

The easiest thing for you to do is post a link to the topic you want deleted and then that topic can be reported.

It will be quicker than waiting for a host to contact you.

The only threads you have started are this one and Do Apple products affect Wifi connectivity? and you have a couple of responses in threads you didn;t start.

Can't honestly see any of them getting deleted but again if you tell us which one it is we can report it.

I haven't had an email from any of the hosts.

It is the wifi connectivity one, and it's because I'm going to ask the family to do their research and stop blaming me.. then I realised that the topic shows up and I wrote it in a bit of a... annoyed state.

This is really frustrating. I've never ever heard of a forum where you can't remove your own posts. Ridiculous.
