It does? I'm sorry.
I won't do it anymore, but I am curious how replies make a topic difficult to delete.
Well I'm not a full moderator. I can edit any post without any issues (and it says "Edited by Foxhack" after I do so), I can delete threads with no replies, and I can split topics.
If someone replies to a spam post, I can't delete it until I split the replies to a separate thread. The board's all sorts of weird and there's only two full admins who can delete posts and ban people. Sorry.
