Thread deletion?

[kyzy]

I want to delete a thread, the official help says theres a button to do so... but there isn't. Then everyone says to contact a mod, I find a mod, and I cant privately message them.

So what am I supposed to do?

Threads usually don’t get deleted around here unless the mods find them problematic. Otherwise, I don’t think there’s much you can do. I don’t think using the report button to report your own thread to be closed has ever worked.

Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Unfortunately, the issue you are describing is not a technical issue. I will be moving this thread to "General Discussion".

Thank you for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!

^ Perfect example of moderation here.

Avoid the issue altogether, and just 'manage' the forums by shifting posts to a 'more appropriate forum'. Never mind answering the question, that goes above and beyond.

You can always call customer service. I had a thread of mine removed the other day.

That person is not a community moderator. They do Technical Support.

So, your saying they arn't smart enough to answer the question just because they tech support?

Ngl that response is one example of bureaucracy at its finest.

Really? What is it then? "The instructions say there's a button but there's no button" sure sounds like a technical issue.

More like it isn't their job to answer that kind of question, and besides they may not know the answer - since it isn't their job to know that answer.
