How do I remove a post which has been deleted in a Game Discussion Forum? Since the Wiki doesn't mention this at <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Management#Game_Discussion_Forum" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Management#Game_Discussion_Forum</a> I am concerned the feature doesn't exist, but here's hoping I'm just really missing something here. As the owner/moderator/initiator of the thread, I have the option to delete posts. But when I delete them, a cute note appears indicating that the post has been deleted by a the GM or a moderator. Okay...but -- that's not deletion. Not really. That's hiding. The data still exists somewhere, taking up space, with no way to manage it. And I have to look at it. I can't even hide deleted posts from my own view. Seriously. I presume the other players can't see the deleted posts, so they get a nice, trim, current-info-only stream of information. How nice for them. What about me? I have to wade through a veritable sea of posts to find the not-deleted ones. And there's content building up somewhere that I can't reduce. I see this as basic software/data management 101: Basic CrUD functions (Create, Update, Delete). Create: Add a post. Update: Edit a post. Also, in this system, when I select "Delete", it actually does an update, not an actual delete. And I can't find a way to actually remove the content. Save that disk space. Clean up my trash. Permit myself the benefit from the same trim presentation the other players get. Don't get me wrong -- it's a cool feature to be able to pull a Lazarus and undelete a post. But it's painful to not be able to actually make it go away. I was hoping maybe it was a "mark for deletion" type thing, where the drek gets cleaned up by a garbage collection routine which purges "deleted" messages after 30 days or something... but unless there's an insanely long expiration timer, I don't think that's what's happening? Am I missing it? Or did someone actually design an interface in the 21st century that doesn't permit data to be removed?
