Another request for site admin


Nathan...

It would be nice if those posting new threads or replies could have the ability to delete a thread that they started or posts they have posted.

This would be particularly helpful with a topic that becomes a "dead" issue.

Another nice tool to have would be the ability for the original thread starter to be able to move a thread into another, more appropriate forum.

If you click the report a post button the moderators will be notified of a problem. You can use that to request a thread be moved to a new topic.

As for the ability to delete a thread, threads are discussions with multiple people taking part. For the thread starter to have the ability to remove everyone else's comments by deleting the topic just doesn't seem fair which is why we don't allow it.

Gotcha....problem is that sometimes a thread is started that isn't worth 2 cents...for example I have a thread that I started titled with just a "?" ...I would like to delete it but I can't. I tried to report it but I did not see the report button to click.

The flag beside the online offline indicator, is the report feature.
