  • Is there a way to delete your own thread after you make it?

    Also I heard you can delete posts you make after you make them. How do you do that?

    You need to have the appropriate permissions to do that, which you or I don't have as members of the vB user group for normal registered members. If you would have moderator or super moderator priviledges, or your permissions would bet set so that you could do it, then it would be possible. I.e. it's not possible for you now.

      You don't, only people with mod rights can do that. The "Delete this post" button at the "Edit this post" window is some sort of remnant; if you click it, it'll tell you you don't have the authority to do it.

              deleting your own thread... that's so selfish. once you post a thread it's no longer your own - it's the property of da banana

                True, a horror scenario would be someone deleting the thread they started on a whim, and thus destroying several hundred posts.

                  But imagine the terrible loss of such a thread as this one.

                  Quick - sticky this thread to preserve it for the museum of spam !

                    I made a thread last night which I shouldn't have. Ming deleted it anyways. But after I posted it, I thought- I shouldn't have posted this- I wish I could delete it .

                        that's why people can't delete threads, no hiding the evidence

                          Besides if you delete a thread we all lose our +1. At least if a mod locks a thread we get to keep the post count.

                            no posts are lost when a thread is deleted, which is the other other reason deletion of threads by common peons is disallowed

                              Well... not true. If I delete an on topic thread, people LOSE the number of posts they made in the thread. And if there is a "glitch" when I try to delete it (which used to happen all the time, but not much anymore) and I have to do it more than once, you lose that number of posts as well. It once took me four times to delete a thread, meaning everybody that posted in it lost 4 times the number of posts that they had made in the thread. Maybe that will make some people think twice before posting their typical "post for deletion" comments in on topic threads
