How do you delete threads?? - ernestmiller - May 28, 2017
As the title suggets I made some threads that I need to delete how do I go about doing this.

Only upgraded members had this feature but it's completly removed.

Only UB3R members were able to junk threads until the feature was completely removed due to spammers and a lot of hassle in general.
I found out about this whilst viewing the administrators profile, here is the link to the thread - https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5613069 if you wish to look into it further.

You can't. Unless the thread violates a rule, its there to stay. If it does violate a rule, PM one of the staff members to remove it explaining why you posted it even though it violated a rule.

Oh okay its just the CTF that I shared with everyone with here was from a recruiter and I was not supposed to share it with people not a public CTF thing

You can edit it and simply write "Closed " as thread title.
You cannot delete a post unless you are a moderator, admin etc etc
At least, that's my current understanding

You are really making a good use of search feature because the thread was 2 years old.
Without any doubt, it's a nice way to get your doubts cleared. Well done !!!

Wow, this thread it two years old. I’m surprised someone dug all the way through the search function just to find this.

Aside from staff and admins, noone has the ability to delete threads.

This is not true. As an upgraded member you can just close the thread and leave it at that. (Mass) editing the contents of your threads will be considered thread edit abuse and will result in a rollback of your threads and a closure of your account.
