Letting people delete threads is not going to happen. If you want a thread deleted you can send me a PM.

You can edit the post for 15 minutes I think after you first post it so you could always remove what you wrote and add a short not to say you accidentally started the thread. Myself or someone else moderating will delete the thread once we see it.

However, it's not fair to people who take the time to respond to have their content deleted. The thread belong to everyone who takes the time to post in it, not just the person who started the thread. In many cases the person who starts the thread barely participates. It certainly wouldn't be fair to allow a person who doesn't contribute much to delete it, even if that person started the thread.

There are certainly good reasons why someone would want a thread deleted and I can usually find a way to accommodate the reason while still keeping the thread alive, but if not I'll delete them if there's a good reason.
