Hello Maki. Since this is more about site functionality I moved it to Community Help
Q: So can blogs be deleted?
A: Yes, you may be able using the steps AnnetteMM mentioned. I know with some aspects of the site it lets you delete even if other people have commented but other cases where it does only if no one has commented. I don't recommend deleting either way. This is your journey. It's not perfect but it is a journey and a record of your time. You'll grow and it's nice to have a written memory of that.
Q: I just noticed I can opt for no comments on it though .
A: Yes you can put up a blog and not allow any comments. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Why come to a social support site but not allow interaction. I don't recommend using this function.
Q: I am a keep it simple person and prefer one stop threads which leads me to ask which is your most used thread so I can read as well as encourage others and comment on their posts ) ?
A: We have some busy threads but encourage if people are seeking help and have a specific question that they try to keep it to one topic per question. Certainly join a discussion already in process if you have something to say about a topic that has already been asked or discussed as there you will have more people interacting. Threads that have a lot of different topics can get bogged down and the answers to questions can get lost in the many replies. Also for people who come to the site looking for a particular response, It can be hard to find the answer in catchall posts that contain a lot of different questions and answers.
Q: If you want to find me however its best to just message me. I'd be happy to support you in your quit .
A: We recommend participating in public rather than via private message whenever possible as your help, support and wisdom can help others even if they don't get involved in the mix. Plus one response in public can help multiple people at a time rather than one response in private. Certainly some topics are private in nature and shouldn't be public but I find that most things here on the site have benefits of being public.
Q: Also , if I delete my account are my blogs posts gone then or do they stay .
A: We disable accounts, we don't delete them as per our https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/docs/DOC-1051 . If accounts are deleted then the posts and the responses go with it. It's not fair to the people who those who took time to respond to have their responses deleted without their permission. If someone wants their personal information removed from their account we can help with that but the posts will remain even if your personal information is disassociated.
