--- Quote from: Chas Large ---Sometimes inappropriate posts will be made on forums. A post can include inappropriate content or is just spam. You can delete whatever posts you like with two methods:

Deleting Individual Posts
To delete posts one at a time, go to the Post that is to be deleted and select the button that says Remove located to the right of the title of each post. You can also remove an entire topic including all of the replies by going to the bottom of the topic and selecting the Remove Topic button.

Deleting Multiple Posts
Before you're able to delete multiple posts at the same time, you will need to enable checkboxes. Follow the directions below to enable checkboxes.

PROFILE > MODIFY PROFILE > LOOK AND LAYOUT

The Show quick-moderation as option has a drop-down box. Within that box select the checkboxes option. Now, go to the posts to be deleted and check the box in the upper right-hand corner of each Post that you wish to delete. Upon checking the box on each individual post, scroll down to the bottom of the thread and select the button that says Remove Selected [n] where [n] is the number of selected posts.

As there are other reasons for deleting posts also, we may want to change the wording here a bit.

Let's use a list for this. :) Also, be careful to watch for "you." We need to reword those sentences to remove them.
