It would be nice if there was a way for us to delete our own posts - the way this forum is set up it archives and saves everything you have posted and aggregates it to be available by Google search. I just noticed this recently.

If I Google my phone number it shows every CWT post it appears on even though I've gone through and edited it off everywhere I can find. 

So if you've ever included a number or email in a post or comment it will be accessible to the scammers that scrub the pages for personal information.

Taken care of.  Thanks

Hi! Is there any way for us as members to scrub our post history from the forum archive? Even if we edit and clear all the content from previous posts it's still saved somewhere on the site and is reachable via google search even after it has been deleted within the post itself. I believe this is one of the main ways that scammers are able to easily aggregate personal information and why so many of us receive these messages at the same time.

Or is there a moderator this question would be better directed towards? 

Thanks!
