Just explain whatever you need/want. That will let a person with delete authority know what to do.

Most likely your review can be removed by the end of the day or Monday morning if you email us on a weekend. Thanks!

Nobody wants to accidentally post 2 posts. If you do a search on this site, you will find MANY people asking this same question. I asked Deepika why there is no delete button and she basically said there is no reason. I've suggested that she add that capability but got no response. I don't understand why a member needs to go through hoops making work for moderators when there could be a simple delete button: Here is the thread where I asked Deepika: Thread To be honest, her response left a sour taste in my mouth. -- Edited on 5/31/10 8:48 PM -- ------ Jewel

I'm pretty busy and don't normally spend much time on the site, but after reading about recent contentious discussions, I must say I strongly support Deepika and the moderator's decisions. ------ Yahoo group: Sewing with Industrial Machines http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sewing-with-Industrial-Machines/

This is a safety and security issue. Many of our members use public computers to access PatternReview. Being that you remain logged in unless you specifically logout a member's account could be accessed unintentionally by the incorrect user. Of course there are ways to verify identity before doing certain tasks but for now Deepika has determined that this is the easiest way for us to handle a members need to have a review deleted. Having a review deleted is as easy as sending a quick email to support@patternreview.com. Generally your review will be deleted within hours. If you are requesting that many of your reviews be deleted we might ask for an explanation to determine if we could have served you better but your request will never ever be denied.
