How do I delete a thread I started?

Dear AstronutAlex,

To delete a thread you should have the options to delete/edit a post in the 'More' tab on the bottom of your original post. If you click on the delete tab, it should remove the thread completely.

I hope this helps.

I'm afraid I don't have the delete option. 

I am also not allowed to delete my own posts.

But I can edit them. For example, remove all of the text.

It does not make much sense to me.

Thanks Nicky. I've contacted a Mod.

Nicky - Mod,

I also cannot delete my own threads and posts.

Could you let the community manager know, please?

Thank you very much!

Hi AstronutAlex

I understand you are frustrated. 

Please can you contact the Community Manager with details of the thread you want deleted (in the meantime, you could 'Edit' your original post to remove content) and also let them know that you do not have the option to delete the entire thread yourself?

email: communitymanager@nas.org.uk  

I will let the community manager know that you have been unable to delete your thread too.

Many thanks

I understand that, but a thread should be deleteable by the owner.

I think it can no longer be deleted once someone replies directly to it! But as others have said you can EDIT it completely and take some or all of the words out, maybe leave a short reason why but that is entirely up to you. 

Take care and I hope it gave you some help in finding out information.

Thanks Oktanol. I have asked a Mod. 

I know there should be no reason for being unable to delete it, guess if nothing else works you can ask the moderator to simply do it, after all, they can delete your thread even without your agreement.

But maybe just edit your posts a bit? It really was a good thread, as you say, there were a lot of comments well worth reading and a lot of stuff anyone may come across at some point and having read this would perhaps make them think twice about how to interpret other people's actions and reactions and how others may interpret one's own actions and reactions. Don't know if that's an option for you, but if you are worried relevant people may read it then this would perhaps help?
