I’ve just created a test user, logged in as tem, posted a first test post, but can’t delete it. Is this intended? [图片] UPDATE Apparently so. I can’t delete my own posts here on Meta either. Is there a setting to control this?

Creating a topic like “nazi hitler porn” and then immediately deleting it is a great way to grief a site. Also, deleting a topic with replies would be rather rude to the people replying. This has been covered at length in other topics.

Let me disagree. What I can see in my forum: people start a new topic, then understand they did something wrong and it’d better to post a message into an existing topic (we have a single topic for selling things) and tried to delete the topic but can’t. So a person is looking at the topic and can’t…

[图片] Shrike: Is there any workaround to do this? Yes: Teach your users to flag their own topic if it needs moderator attention, for example to be moved to an existing topic :slight_smile:

I’m afraid it’s very idealistic approach :). I believe good UX should provide “less-surprise” approach and not assume and impose “people should taught first” idea. There’s common sense - if I created something I should be able to delete it. Even in Twitter we can delete own tweets. I understand re…

[图片] Shrike: But I think it should be allowed at least during some adjustable timeout after creation. I don’t agree – deleting a topic is quite a disruptive action. What happens to the users that are currently reading it? Typing a reply to it?

[图片] fefrei: I don’t agree – deleting a topic is quite a disruptive action. What happens to the users that are currently reading it? Typing a reply to it? But it’s allowed to delete own message. No problem here. What would you say in the same case - what happens to the users that currently re…

[图片] Shrike: What would you say in the same case - what happens to the users that currently reading it? Exactly what happens now: The message is replaced by a note that the author deleted the post and it will be gone in 24 hours. If I want to continue reading it, I check the edit history. Th…

Well, but moderators/admin can delete topics. And the fact that someone is reading it or replying doesn’t prevent deletion. So from reader’s point of view is makes not much sense who is deleting the topic. But again there could be some meaningful timeout while it’s allowed (5-10 minutes for example…

UPDATE Users can now elect to have own topic deleted per: [图片] User cannot delete own topics once they have replies Feature This is done in: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/7267 Thanks @nbianca !
