How to completely delete previous posts ( not edit )

[Jethro]

Is there a simple way to completely delete previous posts?
I’m a Flintstone with technology and when i tried deleting my WTB G38 “bumped” posts another was added?

Next time edit the title to say 'Please close'.

What is the process for completely deleting the thread?

Don’t recall where, but I recall reading that threads were not deleteable unless they were against the rules. And only a mod could do that.

they were just locked. I dont have a quote on that.

ive seen other forums where folks delete the text of the thread/post, and change the title, but if anyone quoted your post, you can’t edit that.

@titanNV : sounds like a chance for additional revenue.

for a $10 donation, a thread owner can request up to 5 threads deleted. But must be the owner. OR.

5 of their individual posts. OR

one post of their own, including repost/quoted Stuff.

There’s no process for a user to delete a thread or post. The staff has always defaulted to closing over deleting (or at least soft deleting, leaving a record of the deletion), to avoid the appearance of censorship.

You used to be able to delete your own posts. That was lost with one of the software changes/upgrades.

When I look at the bottom of my posts, I still have options to Report, Edit, or Delete.

Well, I stand corrected haha. I haven’t seen the basic user interface in quite a few years now, so I didn’t know it was a feature.

So apparently when someone posts 'Please delete', we can reply "Delete your own damn post!"

I am just seeing the options to report and edit, so the ability to delete one's own post appears to be an option for members with a Forum Supporter badge.

Edit: Actually, perhaps it's an option for those with a commercial sponsor badge?

Interesting. I do not have the option for 'Delete' on mine. Just Report and Edit.

I knew I wasn't in the big dogs club

Where exactly do you see this “delete” option you speak of? I don’t see that on mobile anyway. Have yet to confirm if its on PC.

Bottom of your post, under the signature.

I'm on a PC. I don't use the mobile version. None of you are worth following that closely.

And on that note, none of you are worth dragging out the laptop and setting it up!
