Why cant we delete our own threads?

I'm curious cause of the reaction some people get for spamming the boards yet the ability to delete an empty duplicate thread is not available. Anyone know why?

Admin / support is the place to ask this.

You can delete them, but AFAIK if someone is viewing the thread you can't delete it, cause it'll cause the internet to break.

you must have the old version. i have it on cd, won't fit on floopy disk
its great. it comes with added features such as google, boards and porn.

you can't delete a thread if someone has replied to it.

Do you need special drivers to use it?
I've got Windows Me on my Wang 386 and I can't get the internet to work at all!

I think it depends on the settings for an individual board.
On some boards you can delete a thread even if someone's replied to it, while on others you can't delete it even if no one's replied....

Deleting the starting post of a thread removes everyone else's posts. You always have up to two days to remove your own post, but you don't have the right to delete other people's replies.
