About: Deleting posts from a thread

I think only Eric (or other moderators) can delete posts

As a leader I can’t delete others posts but someone with higher privileges could.

I wonder if there is a way to hide replies?

Perhaps we can develop a method to request such clean ups from an appropriately privileged user.

Just to the left of the “Reply” button, click on the three dots “…” to see more functions, including a trash can.
Note that, although the tooltip for the trash can says “delete this post”, Discourse doesn’t actually throw away the post, but simply makes it hidden.

@EricShulman we can only delete our own.

Are you sure about that? I just tried deleting your last post, and it seems to allow it.

I think you have additional rights. Carried over from GG I expect. See the shield near you name. I don’t have one. @boris possibly did it

That’s right only moderators can delete posts.

– I did move these posts to their own thread, to allow the original thread to be “on topic”
