You did post some straight doo, though, so there’s that! Threads don’t get deleted unless the poster is an insta-ban type, usually a sock. You could get yourself banned and then maybe your thread would be deleted. [Link to thread in question.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=780427) ---

You don’t, so far as I know, get your thread deleted. What we do on this board lasts pretty much forever. So if you do something stupid, like you did, it’s there for all to see. You can’t edit your past. ---

You could, however, take some time to read through some of the threads and see what kind of culture we have here. Also take the advice of the mod who closed your thread and read the rules. Both of those things would help you understand what kind of place this is. Trust me, it’s not “ran by nazi.s” ---

And has been noted, we don’t typically delete threads around here without a very good reason. You are, of course, free to leave the board, but if you take the time to get used to how folks post around here, you might find it worthwhile to stay. Up to you. ---

We have to provide our own truncheons, knouts, bullwhips, cattle prods, or tasers, per our own preference. As for me, I like to wear a [Prussian pickelhaube](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8d/Bismarck_pickelhaube.jpg) whilst moderating. ---
