Delete Sales Thread.

Why can’t you delete a sales thread? I want to delete a few threads and combine them into one thread but there doesn’t seem to be an option to delete them.

Actually I don't seem to be able to delete any thread I started. Is this something new? or Just something I never noticed before?

I guess if I spent more time here I’d know that.

The sales section wasn't meant for conversations, posting infinite info about a bike/parts/or oddity. It was one of the reasons to remove the delete option was to preserve "info". Makes little sense to have removed it in my opinion

We do ask that as your items sell, please hit the report post and ask the Moderators to delete the thread. Use it in good health! I'm going to leave this up as a sticky to explain things, and post any eventual changes, if any.

I would actually prefer that the thread simply be closed to new comments and clearly marked as "SOLD." That would provide a record of reasonable prices for such bikes and components for future sellers to expect.

And yet I consistently seeing people edit the posts to remove the asking/selling price.
