Does mods have the ability to delete or at least cover posts?

 

Edit: Because I know other forums that can do that and even combine threads together (like the posts from one thread goes to this thread) 

                               

Thanks and on this note. Why can't we delete our own threads? :O I mean if we screw up bad enough or double post. We should have the option to do so. I also can't even figure out how to delete a post. All I can do is delete the content and leave it near blank or put little something else written in it.  That would also be a nice addition. Considering it's one of the basic functions of any forums. I'm guessing there is a reason it's not allowed on this site?

I think the reason it's not allowed here is from a moderation point of view, I could be wrong of course, but if you were to see that all the moderators were currently offline (which you can see from the users active) then you could put up a thread or post flaming the hell out of a system and delete it afterwards, I'm fairly sure... there are some weakness's to how certain area's of this site work with regards to the reporting system in terms of the mods do not get a copy of what you reported, unless you screen shot it and send it to them directly "hand motion" to them

As for posting in threads that are locked... yeah it was the case before if you had the reply window up you could post into a thread which was locked, which meant that people could just leave a bunch of reply windows open or just get the url from the unlocked thread and post in it the following day, that is why it's faster to just disallow posting as soon as a mod has made it so, I guess if you are posting in a thread which you think there is a chance it might get locked due to content the only safe bet for now before hitting submit would be to CTRL+A and CTRL+C your post content, then stick it on the OP's wall after if the thread is locked?
