Why cannot i delete it no one whent there yet?

Is it possible to have a feature on deleting where ordinary users can delete their own posts for, say, 10 minutes after posting them? That way we could delete our double posts and accidentially posted threads (look in the DG Polls subforum and you'll see several threads accidentially posted without a poll), plus threads like these, as long as we caught them within 10 minutes (the ten minute limit would be to prevent deletion of established posts and threads).

I beleive if you delete the first post you delete the thread.

Not sure though.

Right - if you delete the first post in a thread, all other posts are deleted. Also, you can report your own post and ask a mod to merge it with another thread or delete it.

so if I wanted a thread deleted I couldnt, or could delete that first post myself?

AFAIK, only the forum mods and TF can delete the first post.......

Currently, you cannot delete any of your posts, because deleting the first post of a thread deletes the thread. Only mods and TF can delete posts. If you have a post or thread you want deleted, PM a mod, or report your own post with the explanation.

Actually, Chieftess, I accidentally deleted the first post of the DemoGame "Needed Things" thread and the following posts stayed. The person who authored the second post was then considered the "author" of the thread.

But the consensus is right. Only mods can delete posts, and we have no problem doing so upon request..
