I know you can't delete a post for at least a minute but:

1. Why? I mean, what's it matter if you delete it 10 seconds after you post it as opposed to waiting 60?
2. What's the maximum amount of time after a post that you delete it?
>>
>>476546
30 minutes I believe.

They should add this to the 4chan faq

Why bother to delete when all the archives snatches up your post anyway? It's too late.
>>
>>476546
>why?

It's to give posters enough time to report the post if they've broken a rule instead of just letting people post CP and then delete it seconds later to avoid a ban.
>>
>>476546
Because people used to heavily abuse the feature. Mainly to do shit like post something, then delete it right away and then claim its a mod. It used to cause a ton of shitstorms and so post and thread deletion were heavily restricted to prevent abuse and stupid drama.

This and fags on /vg/ used to delete threads.

You mean that mods don't have little headsets that give a little chime when some janitor sends them a ban request while they voicechat about it and make fun of the users with their mouths full of hotpockets?

>30 minutes I believe.

What. I thought it was just one minute.
>>
>>477800
Well, one minute until you can delete it, thirty until you can't.
>>
>>476712
when a post gets enough illegal content reports, every online mod/janitor gets notified regardless of board

that's why if some faghat posts CP it usually gets deleted in under a minute but the rest of the shit thread in which it was posted in order to derail does not

this is also why I flag all my reports as illegal content so the mods will respond faster
>>
>>478337
its the only way to get shitposts deleted now a days
>>
>>477398
You literally cannot delete something that's been reported. I speak from personal experience, although in my case it was porn on a blue board.
>>
>>478536
How did you know your post was reported?
>>
>>478643
You get an email notification.
