Is there any way to delete comments in a thread you started? I have a thread about same-sex relationships in games, and I've gotten a few homophobic comments. I have reported them, but it's been a few days, and they comments make me quite anxious. Any help would be much appreciated!

Oh dear me, I sadly don´t think there is a way to delete them yourself.
As far as I know you can only flag the posts, or perhaps contact the Gaia Admins?

Shucks, that's what I thought. Still, thank you for your speedy response! I might try an admin if the reports come back fruitless.

In some forums, thread creators have the ability to delete any posts made in their threads.
If you don't see a delete option near the quote option on those posts, then you can't delete them.

That's good that you reported them, and it's too bad that it's taking days to get a response. > < (Also, sorry to hear that you've had to deal with ignorant people in your thread.)

You can find a list of the mods for that forum at the top of the forum. (Here's the list smile

You'll want one of the site moderators (I think ^^;; ). You can PM them to ask about the state of your report. Generally, they don't like multiple reports and multiple mods to be contacted since it slows them all down.
Either way, it looks like you might have to wait a while. > < Mods get lots of PMs, so you'd probably have to wait on a reply from them too.


Edit; until then, you can put them on your ignore list. Their posts will still exist. However, if I remember correctly, you at least won't see their posts. (They also won't be able to make new posts in your thread.)
One way to put them on the ignore list is to use the drop down menu found below avatars. The link to ignore people is the last option.

You can not delete your own post in forums. I have had to complain in the past once they would not help and the other time after a few weeks they deleted the post...Good luck.
