Hello everyone, I am new with this Discourse platform and I am trying to discover a little bit more the functions, how it works, etc. In several occasions, it happened to be contacted by the users because they cannot delete a topic that they have created. I’ve tried with a normal test account (no…

I’m not sure we have a good guide on this yet, but you can enable category moderation using the enable category group moderation admin setting. Once enabled, you can then add a group to the category under the Settings tab in the category menus: [cat mod setting] You may want to create a specific …

In general, users don’t have permission to delete the first post in a topic after someone has replied to it. Deleting the first post deletes the entire topic, so valuable replies could be lost too. That’s why they are told to ask a moderator. The moderator could split the replies to a new topic to k…

Hello, Thank you for the answer. Those topics that I am referring to don’t have any reply. They are only tring to delete the topic that they have created and that has no reply. In my case, with the test account, it worked to delete it, after 3h. I have created another one and wait for longer unti…

[Bild] Moin: post edit time limit is 24 hours by default. So it probably won’t work tomorrow.

Hello everyone, Hope everything is going well for all of you. I was wondering if you could guide me or tell me if it is possible to setup, only for a specific category, two users who could also delete topics that were created, without providing them admin or moderator access. Maybe just to create …

Does that sound right? in order to give users f…

[Bild] Jay: I was wondering if you could guide me or tell me if it is possible to setup, only for a specific category, two users who could also delete topics that were created, without providing them admin or moderator access. I think the closest thing would be Category Moderators. These can …

[Bild] wal: are there any concerns around setting these to “0” so that users can always edit their posts? It is limited by default because spammers tend to edit their unsuspicious posts after some time to add links. Users editing spam links into their posts after a delay [Bild] wal: seem…

Thank you, Wal! Users can edit their posts, for example to delete the entire content and to add something like “This topic is no longer available”. Before it used to be a moderator and for this specific category he was deleting posts older than 6 months. Now that person is no longer in charge and…

Thank you. I will check how can I add a Category Moderator. It is ok if they can do many other things and not only deleting topics, as long as their access is limited to that category only.
