    On novaBBS it's less than easy, it's not possible. Once you send it, it propagates, so if you want to change what you said, post a followup message to correct your mistake.

    My servers do not send cancel messages for anything, only NoCeM from i2pn(2).

    GG's [Delete-Post] button seemed to work pretty well.

    ---- does TB provide a [Delete-Post] button?

    At first, i thought i'd tell others about novaBBS, but
    now i'm worried about overcrowding (congestion).

    i like how (most of the time), a post from novaBBS gets
    propagated within one second.

    My (our) fear of novaBBS's possible overcrowding
    (congestion) seems reasonable, when you consider
    these two factors (and there may be more):

    1. About 5% of the time, i post from novaBBS and
    i have to wait 5 minutes before my post shows
    up in novaBBS (due to novaBBS being impacted)

    2. Much of the time, fewer than 30 people are
    using novaBBS. --- But i'm assuming that the
    [users online] figure only includes the
    number of registered and logged-in users.

    ## There are currently 27 users online
    ## Total messages: 2,299,507
