Does anyone else think that we should have a button that allows you to delete your own thread. For example when asking a question in GT and your question is answered right away. Also if you mess up on a post and want to delete it? Who's with me??

no. never.



we need the fail-safe of ridicule to keep people from incessantly posting stupid shit. If people could say something, see it failing, then delete it themselves, they wouldn't learn anything.

this.


HOWEVER. i would be ok if you were able to edit posts, but it was clearly stated that the post was edited somehow, and the OP was still visible.

What an original thread idea. I can't believe no one has ever thought of this before.

No, I search for old threads all the time for info.  That way I don't have to make another thread with the same issue.

if we had the option to delete threads, the OP would have already deleted this one, seeing how it had gone totally not how he planned it.

This has been suggested so many times, it would make NS no fun and it gives incentive to actually make a good thread or do spell check or preview, which people still dont do.

plus every kid and their mom loves to yell SEARCHBAR, and if everyone deleted their thread after they got an answer, no one would be able to search for it, resulting even more repeat threads.
