Can't completely delete MY OWN posts - Portkey forums

EXPECTED RESPONSE TIME:

Please give the mods two weeks to reply about your issue. If you haven't gotten a response by then, hit the Report button on your original post. On the report form, write something like Just wanted to follow up on this. This would alert other mods who are available.

If you assume that Portkey mods log in here only on weekends (as they don't get paid for their work here), then 1 calendar week should be considered the equivalent of 1 "response day".

Hi, since my Mod powers have been enabled I have a problem: When I want to delete one of my own posts (because I see that the question I answered has already been answered or something like that), that post goes to the Trash section like it would if I had deleted someone else's post. Can somebody explain to me what I can do about this, please?

So as far as I can tell, ALL deleted posts are moved to the trash. Disregarding whether a Mod or not (although, I'm pretty sure non-mods can't delete posts) deleted it from the public/private/protected forums. I think there's no other way around it except deleting it from the trash forum which, quite frankly I won't recommend you to do because at one point or another, we might need that post again. Hope that helps. Mods, feel free to correct me or move our posts if they shouldn't be posted here in the public forums

Read our feature on author HARRYS MISTRESS!	When someone with moderator privileges hits the Delete button on a forum post, that message gets moved to our hidden Trash forum. This applies whether mods delete their own post or one made by other people. As c&m said, this is to allow us mods to restore that message should we want to anytime later. (I have other uses for this as well but that's beyond the scope of this topic.) When someone without mod privs hits the Delete button, that message is gone permanently. That's why I disabled the Delete button for non-mods earlier this year after noticing this. Prior to that, non-mods could delete their own posts. We've never allowed non-mods to delete messages made by other people. No one, mod or non-mod, can delete the first message in a forum thread. The way for us mods to do that would be to move that first message into the Trash forum using the Split Topic or Move Post command. This also applies to forum threads that have only one post, ie, zero replies, 'cos that lone message would also be the first one on that thread.
