How to delete a thread that I started...

Report it to a moderator using this (

They'll take care of it.

Yes, as spam threads often are (at least from the point of view of us mere mortals; I'm sure they're still visible to mods/admins).
We can do both, depending on what the type of thread it is. Spam and duplicate threads tend to get deleted, useless threads tend to get moved to the Wasteland... and threads that have come to a useful end, usually through flamewars and anything that causes us work, tend to get locked with a message.
If you want to delete one of your posts, please report the post and ask that it be deleted. Some members think they are bothering us to make such requests, but we much prefer to remove an unwanted post than to see users editing their posts to say "mods please delete" or "never mind" or "oops, duplicate post". We won't necessarily see your post if you leave messages like that in the post without reporting it, and everyone else continues to see it when they read the thread. Report it, we'll remove it, and everyone will benefit!
