Would love an option to actually delete post/topic, without being stuck at every turn to do so its making it harder.

This should just have a checkbox to say I am aware that will happen and want to anyway. Not force me to potentially have to manually delete every post in super long topics

or like Reddit I should be able to really delete just the first post make it empty.

I understand there will be many that say something like “but the replies may be important for others/posterity”. I cannot stress how little that matters and we just don’t care if all the replies are deleted.

and should not have to do this for every single post
