The Philosopher's Kite

Still unable to delete this topic. Moving topics by Moderator action seems to break that capability. This post reply also being held up by software imposed delay. Very poor features.

After a reply has been made in a topic, or even before maybe, a topic cannot be deleted by a regular user. Comments can usually edited or deleted, for a limited time.

@kitefreak

Authors have moral rights to withdraw work

You have that ability in deleting or editing the relevant comments, for a limited time.

The Philosopher's Kite

Please Cancel this Topic, or move it back to Analysis. To me its not a “Lounge” topic, but philosophical “Analysis” (meta-analysis) Thanks.

About the Analysis category

Analysis of anything outside of engineering. (Markets, Climate, Weather, etc.)

About the Lounge category

Chit-chat and all the things that don’t go elsewhere. Use the following paragraphs for a longer description, or to establish category guidelines or rules: Why should people use this category? What is it for? How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have? What should topics in this category generally contain? Do we need this category? Can we merge with another category, or subcategory?

Based on the category descriptions, the Lounge is the best category for The Philosopher's Kite

Cosine Functions in Kite Physics is perhaps slightly more contentious.

Moderators do have the technical ability to delete or hide topics. Since both topics have more authors than you alone, the topics should ideally not be deleted without the approval of the participants.

You could give arguments for and against hiding the topics. I’ll go along with your wish and hide the topics for now. Further discussion or insights may revert that.
