How do you Delete Posts and Thread here

[Searles Lewis]

I would like to delete all but the last thread. This option seems to have been disabled in this site. Anyone know how to do it?

I think you better ask the mod or administrator, post and thread deletion is a sensitive matter on most internet forums. Personally I moderate a large forum (not related to cars) and will not remove threads unless you have a dang good reason

List the title of the thread(s) that you want to delete and I will do it for you.

I am very reluctant to delete threads on my own unless it is something really bad or someone trying to sell something in violation of the site rules....aka spam.
The other issue that can come up is violation of copyright laws.....lots of very helpful information in manuals, but posting that is often a copyright violation.

At the thread starter's request is fine, but for me to do it without being asked could make a member feel reluctant to start a new thread asking for help with another problem with their vehicle.......which is the last thing that I want to have happen.
I know that it would clean the room up a lot if I were more aggressive about threads, but I don't want to make folks feel intimatated about posting a question.
The down side is that there are lots of threads asking the same questions over and over.
In my opinion, that is not a big deal as folks have a variety of skills with computers as far as using search, etc.
My intent as a moderator is to have this room be a place that folks can get the help that they need.
A big part of that is for folks to feel comfortable to ask for whatever help that they need for their particular problem with their Ford Windstar.
