Thanks for that. We recently fixed a related issue to this. Looks like it needs another kick.
cheers

Sorry but I can't understand what you mean.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

About 12 useless lines of text ...

You might not like it... I respect it. But a bit of humor is never useless.
And if someone had to tell me something about my joke, that should have been the one who was addressed to (A.k.a. Chris)

Strange and new, at least for me:
Deleted a thread with answers is possible? Bugs and Suggestions[^]
And no, not with a prepared URI, simply by UI...
and also in b&s it is now possible to 'delete' a thread by UI
Discussions[^]

Everyone can remove the content of an owned message, either editing and removing the text manually, or with the delete option (as you just did).
The difference is, if the message has answers, then the deleted message gets "message closed" but it remains in the thread because it has answers.
If it has no answers, then the message is removed from the thread and you see it no more.
And I would say, it has been like that for a long time.

You are right. But in the Lounge I think, it is not possible to delete the Top Message in case there are Sub Messages.
|

You can still delete it (content = empty), but the message doesn't disappear.
It doesn't matter if it is the start message of a thread or a message in the middle of the thread.

I prefer to do it a little bit more hidden and not post that in the Lounge.
[Your post in the Lounge]
a.) Click the message you posted
b.) Hover over the 'Edit' and copy the link with right click
c.) In the link change action=d
d.) Put that to the browsers address bar
e.) Done

I know what you meant with the link in the first message.
I just wanted to confirm, that the standard "delete" widget is not available, because I would have really bet against it.
EDIT: Spam and Abuse is the same as in the lounge. Meaning:
Unanswered message == delete active
Answered message == delete NOT active
Here in the Bugs and Suggestions is always active

Spam and Abuse I have other expirience. See link below where I deleted by GUI: Advertising in Profiles - gone[^]
But easy possible, that I meanwhile mixed up the things

Funny enough, the "delete" widget in other people's message is active for me.
The "delete" in my own messages is not.
Not sure if that has to do with my badge... I thought the protector "remove" is the red "X" in the subject line.

Software that grows over decades is not (always) easy. Right now, I'm also struggling to understand what I was doing about 20 years ago but need to fix a bug (und dies ist zum Mäuse melken)

The thing is:
You don't see "in moderation" in the list of answers (like in other forums where you see a post 'in moderation') the question simply show 'no answer'
So it looks like something went wrong and post it once again. And after posting again the first post apears as an answer marked as 'in moderation'.

FYI: Seems there is a glitch in the balance:

This is because you've closed your account, then reopened a new account using your old email address.
I'll add this to the bug list

When submitting to Q&A, it validates that you've specified at least one tag. If you correct the failure, you can't submit again. It now thinks you're submitting too quickly, with the admonition "Ease up there tiger"  .
Software Zen: delete this;
