Why no delete thread option?

Why is it that there is no option to delete a thread? Ive sold some stuff and Id like to be able to delete the thread, also same thing with another diy thread that wasnt such a great idea.

Because then you would be an Admin. Just edit the first post in your for sale thread as sold. As for the other one, send a PM to shewolf, jager or someone and ask them to delete it for you.

Sometimes what happens is someone will post up something that at the time of posting, was relevant to them; after some time it wasn't an issue or they were finished with it. Others come on with that same problem, or similar ones, and can see what others have done to rectify the situation, or added something of their own to help out the cause. Deleting posts isn't something we do unless it's absolutely necessary on the main board, with the exception of the Flea Market area. That area will get purged after something is sold. For the rest of the board, we leave threads up mainly to help others with the same problems in hopes to help rectify the problem. Sometimes what is considered 'dead' with one member can be valuable to someone else.
