I wish there was a way for a forum maker to delete feeds on the forum

For example I have made a shiny shop in the forums and the shop is becoming very crowded I would want to delete a few spare messages/post from the forum to clean it a bit

Can also help in managing a shop with many breeders

full support, asking a mod to delete it takes time and a lot of energy on both parties...

if you achieved your dreams, what's next?

If this does get implied, people can just exploit it to scam others.
For example, if I ask spme person to buy something from their shop, and seeing how most shops need advance payment, I send my money, but then the shop owner can just delete my post and never send any items.
Yes, this suggestion makes cleaning your threads more efficient, but deletion of posts through mod is much safer, and I'd prefer that it stays that way.
So, unless you can figure out a way to make this function that safe, I don't support it.

@lostone
The person ordering can take a screenshot as proof

But then we'd have to rely on screenshots, which can be manipulated.
This would also make breaking the site-rules easier for the user and harder for us to take action against.

There's a reason users can't delete their own posts, if you'd like a thread or a post to be deleted, just report it and ask us to do it. It's just another one of our jobs (:
