How to delete a thread

Gravity cat · 2012-01-29T18:56:01-01:00

This is a miniature extension to Loner's "how to post" thread. I've noticed quite a few (usually new) users attempting to delete their threads for various reasons, like when they get flamed, are posted in the wrong forum section, or unwittingly posted in I.B leading the thread to get derailed, resulting in active topic-less threads. You can only delete your thread if nobody has responded to it. Just press the button on the Opening Post and you're done. If however, your thread generates responses from other users, you no longer have the power to delete your thread yourself. If you try to, you'll only delete your Opening Post and the thread itself stays active. It's not meant to happen, (in fact as Tegs states, it's a bug) but unfortunately it does. So instead of trying to delete the thread, use the button and ask politely for it to be locked or deleted. Note:- The report button can also be used for moving and locking threads, not just deleting them.

I think it should be noted in the OP (and title maybe) that the report button also serves for relocating and locking threads as well.

Bug spray. Seems to be happening a lot for some reason.
