Deleting threads?

[Daytripper]

Can it be possible to delete threads? I have a sea of abandoned fics that I don't want cluttering my back log because of my ADHD. Because of that I don't think people can trust me to finish a work and so that's why I want them gone.

If multiple people have posted in the thread, we usually won't delete it on one person's say-so.

Your best bet is to delete or edit-empty all your posts in it.

Lots of people have a "snips that I'm not sure if they're going to go anywhere" thread to contain ideas like that. You could use one of those to corral any future ideas.

Also potentially have the mods merge all the existing ones into one such thread. I forget if that was possible on XF1 or if that was an XF2 exclusive thing though.

Well, apparently we're getting XF2 Soon™, so either it's possible now or just wait a bit.

Merging threads is possible on XF1, just a couple weeks ago a thread that was started in SFW General was merged with the movie rants thread.

Also, people get upset when you delete shit they liked, even if you aren't planning on finishing it.

Merger of threads is possible and have been done when necessary.

Deletion of threads, however, is a no go as it causes actual issues with the database.

Out of programming curiosity what is the issue?

Is it quotes to the thread causing issues?
