Topic: I want to delete my posts I don't like, but I can't send a takedown request

I want to delete two drawings of mine. There are here since some months. I didn't expect them to be that downvoted.
I can't send a takedown request anymore. Is there still any possibility to delete them?

I click on the option "flag". The last button (the one for the takedown) doesn't work.

The last button is not for takedown requests...

I'm the uploader and I uploaded the file by mistake (only possible within 48 hours of uploading). Only use if no other reason above fits.

The link to the takedown requests is in the message ABOVE the buttons.

Please select the proper option from the list below that matches why it should be deleted.

If a reason isn't listed here, have a look at the Report button instead.

If you have further questions about how the Flag For Deletion works have a look at our Help Page.

If you are the owner of this submission and would like to have it deleted (and not just replaced with an updated version) then please instead file a takedown request. For more information on takedowns check this help page.

Please read the forms more carefully. Flags and takedowns are confused much more often than they should be despite the warnings.

Add reports into that list. That form should have a big red banner plastered across it reading, "Are you here because you want to delete this post? Go file a takedown instead."

Bitwolfy redesigned the flag page a few weeks ago (screenshot, code) . This should make it more clearer what the flag reasons are for, but it's no red banner. It's not live yet, though the code for it has already been merged by Kira.

Submitting a takedown because of downvotes seems a bit silly, but it's your choice as the artist. Some of those were pretty neat, so it's sad to see them go.

I submitted a takedown to my first post of Isabelle and to my Ilulu post, not only because they had a lot of downvotes, but also because I wasn't proud of these two drawings.

Then why would you upload it yourself if you weren't proud of it? Seems kinda pointless.
It's gonna make me believe that this may be a repeating process in the future where you upload
art and then request takedowns when you get downvoted or don't seem to like it.
This isn't a place where you should play with the system.

Their upload limit is currently 2 so 6 more deleted posts = 0 upload limit.

That's not right.

Their upload limit is currently 3, with 31 deleted posts.
It will decrease to 0 if 9 more posts get deleted.

However, they are also 1 post away from having the limit increased by 1.
Plus, an admin can raise that limit, and they usually do if asked.
