I second what acid_kewpie said in post #2 above. Anyway, I've received your report and contacted you by e-mail to ask for further clarifications. Deleting threads from the LQ database is made only for spam and some other egregious violations of the LQ rules. Asking for deletion of a normal thread is still possible, but the request should be well reasoned to be taken into account.

Colucix.I have used the Edit option for the thread.Actually I wanted to remove the thread as I had used some properitary terms and refrences which could have caused some legal issues so I wanted to have the thread removed.But I later discovered the Edit option and then edited the thread.One more thing I want to ask here.Do the members who earlier posted in the thread do get notified once I re-edit the same thread?
users don't get notified of edits, no. If they've quoted your slip ups, they, or a moderator, would need to edit the thread.
No.This is bad.I mean ideally if I want to edit some refrences that I have said earlier and someone else has quoted them in their replies then I have to request the moderator or the one replying to edit the quotes.Cant I just edit my original post and all the refrences get updated.Because if someone had quoted me in my earlier post luckily they didnt then I would have to write them and tell them to edit their responses.
