i answered a question on advicenators, later realizing that my answer was totally wrong and i really wanted to erase it. so i went to "edit answers" and deleted everything, thinking it would get removed from my column and my answer wouldn't appear on the question page. but i was wrong. i clicked "submit" and it said i hadn't entered anything in the box, which i hadn't. is there a way to reverse the process of answering a question as if though you never answered it in the first place?
charmed3fanatic answered Monday May 21 2007, 10:20 pm: it used to delete the question.. but i guess peopel would cheat there ratings by deleting questions they got bad ratings on so now you can only edit the answer and not delete it.. i know it sucks =/ i was pretty mad myself.. but if you really want it off and have a good reason to just email dangernerd and he will get it off for you =] [ charmed3fanatic's advice column | Ask charmed3fanatic A Question ]
