You mean, "topics" or "posts." You cannot delete them, you have to contact a moderator. Why do you want it removed though? This is the list of active mods.

You don't, A Moderator does it(if necessary). You can erase the words by editing it but it will just leave a blank post.


I accidentally froze all my ants

Can you please delete
http://www.formicult...view=getnewpost

IMO it has no place on this forum.
There's a branch for selling/advertising ant products, not boosting your own sales.
I don't feel it's really for the good of the ant keeping hobby at all, and I question weither or not they're trolling for likes; have they posted before on this forum? Been an active member recently?
I find this odd.

He is just linking a subreddit, not trying to boost his own sales. Why is everyone so uptight about this sub reddit thing? You don't like it, don't go there, it will disappear in a day anyways, buried by id requests and journal entries.

 

Edit: Also if you think a thread should be deleted, try PM'ing a mod instead of airing it our for the rest of us and triggering people (me). Thanks.

They haven't caused any harm and it is not benefiting them, but the whole community. It will only grow the hobby more.

By 'sales' I mean influencing status or spamming results
If that's all it takes to be a mod on here, than shiiiiiiiit

It has nothing to do with myrmecology or keeping ants successfully. It's creepily set up to spam this forum, and I call BS

I would have pm'd him but he'll see it on here. It takes a lot of time to find him and pm a message. Almost as long as it takes to link up reddit and spam a forum

It may not help formiculture in any way, but it will benefit the hobby and that satisfy's me.

From now you shall be t.c.
No more uppercase status for you

You're suppose to remain unbiased as a mod.

If it's creating a problem for the general public or causing disruptive talk other than the cause, you shouldn't entertain it because you benefit on behalf

haha, oh please. The only people who are creating an issue here are those who are having a conniption over this whole reddit topic. No rules have been broken so I cannot do anything with it. And the guy who posted it is not gaining from it. He just the same as any reasonable person here wants to grow the hobby. If anyone here is trolling or spamming it would be you. And if you feel I'm not doing my job as a Moderator I would be happy to start with working on you.

If it helps, T.C. as a member of this forum, I found the particular subreddit post very informative and generally related to ants, so that's one person at least.

Nobody is hurting my feelings. It would appear stayloki would like me to take a side. This forum isn't perfect, and the reddit or discord isn't perfect. It's not my job to side with anyone. This is a good opportunity for the hobby.
