Hello,
There is no feature for us to be able to delete our threads that we have started. I have threads for old neighborhoods I have advertised for that I would really like deleted, so I can stop receiving messages for them.
I know I am not the only member who has requested this.
Is there a way we can tidy up our threads, or request to have them deleted?
Please and Thank you
Kelli Ann
I doubt if we were ever able to delete our own threads.
You may PM a mod with a request but historically they don't delete threads, they lock them and allow them to fall off of the front page.
Edit your posts with the appropriate content and have it closed.
No, I'm afraid there is not. If you have an NH recruiting thread that no longer applies because the NH has been dissolved you can either post to the thread that the NH is no longer active or report it to us with the reason being that the NH is no longer active.
If you were running the recruiting thread for an NH that you've left and are still getting PMs from interested parties, you can either post to the thread that you are no longer a member or report the thread so it can be closed. One of the remaining members of the NH can then create a new thread.
Also, if you currently have more than one recruiting thread for your NH and now understand that you are permitted only one, choose ONE to be your active thread and stick with it, updating the OP as necessary.
Thank you for the prompt response.
It was a NH I dissolved. I posted thread closed. Will wait for it to fall off the 1st few pages. :)
Thanks again,
Kelli Ann
You might still have them delete it. If someone replies, the thread will be bumped and your thread goes right back to page one again. Just a thought :)Quote:

It seems a huge flaw in the game that no matter how many times you boot a person or ask them not to comment on your thread....they can still just harass you and do as they please. Id rather play with uplifting and happy people and not be bothered by negative bitter people. Yet it seems unavoidable in this game!!!
Report the post. There is a triangle on the left side below each post. Use that to report the offensive posts.Quote:

That would be sad to be punished (on forum) because of some crazy people and it doesn't add anything positive to your recruitment thread anyway.Quote:

As has been said. Report the post with the reason. But don't expect a reply. That's not how it works. I have reported people who are just mean or who violate forum rules of decorum and nothing may happen right away, but trust me, they watch those people and take care of it. I also imagine that they might PM them behind the scenes and give them a warning. The response they get then determines what they do. But absolutley no one will contact you and tell you what is happening behind the scenes. That's just bad form. Trust your moderators. They do a great job.Quote:

but my problem is that we also have bitter people telling people to watch their backs in this NH
we also have other NH's using our thread to recruit people.
i can't delete the posts or block these people so I start a new thread.
If I could have more control over our thread I wouldn't have multiple threads
could this be looked into please
You may report an entry if they are trying to recruit in your nh thread. Some people are not very forum savvy so they may post in the wrong threads / sectionsQuote:

And honestly, those NHs that spam a bunch of threads with the same copypasta ad don't give a very good impression. They're not helping themselves. If they can't respect other NH recruiting threads, I wonder how respectful they can be of their members. :confused:
As for the criticism from former members... I think most people understand that disagreements happen in NHs. When ex-members show up, if you use it as an opportunity to explain what happened in a calm, positive way, that may actually help with recruiting. Even if your NH was at fault partially for whatever went down, you can explain what you've learned and how the NH will do better.
We have had a change in leadership in our neighborhood. Our old leader is no longer part of the nh. We are also changing the character of the nh a bit and want to reflect that in a new recruitment thread. Also, the notifications need to come to the new leader, not our previous one. How do we go about getting the old recruitment thread removed so a new one can be placed in the forum? TIA for your help.
All you can do is ask a mod that it be closed. You might want to post what you said here and ask folks to come to your new thread with a link to it. But if you do that will also bump your old recruiting thread. If it is already off the first few pages, you might just see it die in the post graveyard by itselfQuote:

If you were able to delete your own threads, then basically that's deleting other people's work in a way. Maybe that's why they dont let us do that.
I have been through this personally. Here's what I did:Quote:

Here is a link to the old one, you may delete if if you want: http://..."
To make it a little less confusing to us I'd advize a slight change. Report the old thread which needs to be removed so we don't accidentally remove the new thread and just write a little note in the report explaining the situation.Quote:
