Why can't we
Why can't we delete our own threads? If we see we posted something already posted by another member we should be able to delete it. Any other reason really if we don't want our old posts why have threads cluttered up with Sold post's?

Typically the Mods will merge duplicate thread topics.

We don't allow members to delete threads because there may be others that are involved in them and it's not fair to them. If you want something removed, sent a mod alert. We will decide if removal is indicated.

Trolls will typically post something inflammatory, wait until everybody gets all up in arms and then delete it and plead ignorant. It's a basic tenant of most all on-line fora that users can't delete their own threads. If you post something duplicate, we'll take care of it, if we see it. You can always let us know. There are other legitimate reasons that we would consider deleting or modifying a post, so please reach out to us, but by-and-large, just be careful what you post, because internet content lives a LOT longer than most people realize.
The same is true for editing your own post. You have a few minutes after you post to correct typos, links, or similar innocuous issues, but after a little while (I think it's about 15 minutes), you can't even edit your post. Again, that's mostly due to trolls that abuse those functions, so we have to restrict them to keep the forum enjoyable for all and to leave a record for us when we have to remove someone.
