PM a mod with the link to the thread and instruct them on what changes are to be done. Yes it is a possibility that they will do it for you.
You can also use 'Report Post' button for that thread if you want to edit something but with a valid reason to do that. DON.
you posted information in a public forum and you expect it to remain a secret? your kidding right? asking us to remove your email address from a post you made isn't a good enough reason to edit it, maybe next time you make a post, you'll give more thought to the content before you submit it.
That was reckless of you to post your e-mail in such a LARGE community that is widely indexed by all search engines. What were you thinking.. Whenever e-mails are involved, always do that in PMs (private messages) - & the fact that someone needed to tell you this is mind-baffling for me. Anything you post about yourself on the internet takes years to clean up - if you're lucky (I know, I've done my share of cleaning up), that is why always keep everything private for your own sake. You might be sharing information today that you don't want anyone else to know years after, & it's gonna be so much harder erasing those imprints so always be careful with what you decide to put online amidst strangers.
You could use the obfuscate BBcode next time if you want to keep it a secret. Right now your only option is to try and outrank Digitalpoint for your name from the SE's.
