Admins/Mods Please Delete (enclosed)

Hello,

I just need to have my old Free Company thread deleted as I've changed the name and title of the thread please. The link is: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...18#post4855618

Report your own post with the yellow triangle marker, they can take care of stuff that way :). I believe you should be able to delete your own thread if you edit and look at then options though?

Edit: didn't see the button where I thought it would be, can only delete just posts I guess lol. Anyway if you report your own post you can give them a reason why and if they think the thread should be cleaned they may.

Why can’t we delete our own threads? Seems dumb in my opinion.

Preserving the narrative might be one of them? Someone puts a lot of effort into a reply and then the OP is like "/tableflip /ragequit". lol
Also might get people farming different outcomes, like imgur or reddit where when you reply and who first responds can dictate a thread's general fate. If you get opinions that agree with you early on the first page, vs not.

Not suggesting it's perfect but I imagine if this place is for the devs to resource the consumer then it's helpful not to have consumers playing with their resource on whims of one person lol.

I remember someone making a complaint they got a suspension from the forums because they reported their own thread.

Could just edit it with the new info or just let it rot.

Maybe the team has changed rules? I'm having a hard time believing you'd get a suspension for saying "I've made a mistake, this thread is wasting space - since no one has replied to it, could you please delete it?", but I guess it's possible. Or it could be possible that the person who reported their own thread did something to warrant a suspension, as the GMs probably go through the thread to see what went down. I've reported my own post once, giving reasons why (a long time ago).

A common thing I've heard of people complaining about reporting someone and getting in trouble too but then you hear more info and realize that they also replied in a heated manner after reporting lol. If you're going to report someone then don't write them hatemail afterwards (or before haha), the GMs will not be impressed XD.
