This site needs a lot of improvement!

it indeed does. im going through it now (takes time) to vote on as many technical changes i can find.

What if someone deletes a task that has a lot of votes? It would be lost to mankind.

I suppose there would be a good reason for it then. Being able to remove your own content from a website for whatever reason almost seems like a legal right. If I were to post a video to Youtube and it contained a massive error, they would be crazy to not let me delete my own video.

Any proposed task is subject to community votes so I don't see how any submission would be better off unscrutinized.

bjonbon has a good point. I feel like some people might misuse the delete power. BUT, I also agree with BackwardsT. It does seem like a person has the right to delete something. Though, maybe people should consider what they're posting, more carefully before they post. Like a pencil eraser, a delete button isn't neccessary if you're thoughtful and careful.

If you have got a stupid idea people won't vote for it. And what if a good idea gets 1000 votes and the user that created it delets it?

Another example is if I posted a task and later noticed a similar task with more votes, why not be able to delete it so similar tasks don't get continuously voted to the top. Or maybe if an idea gets hundreds of bad votes, and everyone hates it though it will still go to the top because of the total vote count. Less spam should be a good thing wither way. I don't really think of it as too big of a deal anyway, just seems like a function that should come standard on any type of forum-type post.

people, once its posted, someone is going to read it, once its read, u can't DELETE it from anyones head, its out there, and if its dumb, people will ignore it, if its awesome, you shouldn't want to take it down.

At least let the user delete their task within a spicifik time, or let us edit it.
