Ask a mod nicely.

Yes that would probably be the best way though I can think of others .... though you might get banned.

Not really. Adding it as a feature wouldn't be good for 'historical reasons'... users could, for example, spam innappropriate images and then delete their threads quickly... potentially, users would be offended but moderators would have nothing to act on.

what if the deleted thread went to a compressed database, where mods could look.

Or you just ask a mod to delete it...

Threads aren't truly deleted anyway, you can visit a deleted thread (provided you still have the URL) but not post in them and Rich can still see them as normal posts because he's the Admin. I doubt you'll ever be able to delete your own threads though, you might delete something that's useful to someone else even though you think it's not.

While we may sometimes lock a thread upon request, we don't delete threads. We're not here as content editors.

If you don't like what you've posted, then you can edit your posts ... or think about what you post in the first place

With the exception of the source boxes at the bottom. Which we really, really need to be able to edit.
