While direct deletion of posts isn't available in our discussions feature, you can effectively manage unwanted content through moderation settings.
Understanding the Situation:
Posts in discussions cannot be deleted directly from the interface. However, moderation functionality can be used as an effective alternative as moderated posts can be configured to be entirely hidden from your UI.
How Moderation Works as an Alternative:
From your side, you can configure moderated posts to not appear in the UI. This effectively works similar to deletion, as:
- Users won't see the moderated content anymore
- The post becomes invisible in discussions
The user experience remains clean and controlled and you can effectively manage and remove any offensive/inappropriate content in discussions
📚 Note: For detailed steps on how to moderate posts, please refer to our dedicated articles.
💡 Important Configuration Note: To implement this approach effectively, your system needs to be specifically configured to hide moderated comments. This is a crucial setup that requires proper implementation across your system. Please ensure you discuss this configuration requirement with your development team, as their involvement is essential for setting up and maintaining this functionality. Make sure all team members involved in content management are aware of this workflow once it's implemented.
