maybe this option should be made available (if it is, then how do I do it?)

It isn't available for a reason. Discussions are for public consumption. It would therefore be disruptive for members to delete their own threads -- particularly since it would mean deleting other peoples' posts!
 

1. Can users delete their own threads on the forum?

Yes, many forums have a feature that allows users to delete their own threads.

2. How do I delete my thread on the forum?

The process for deleting a thread may vary depending on the forum platform, but typically there will be an option to delete the thread within the thread itself or in the user's account settings.

3. Will deleting my thread also delete all comments and replies?

Yes, when a thread is deleted, all associated comments and replies will also be deleted.

4. Is there a time limit for deleting a thread?

Some forums may have a time limit for when a user can delete their own thread. This is often to prevent important discussions from being deleted without warning. Check the forum's guidelines for more information.

5. What happens if someone has already replied to my thread before I delete it?

Even if someone has replied to your thread, you should still be able to delete it. However, their reply may still remain visible on the forum.
