The importance of quick deletion

I made a thread in here yesterday and saw that there is no delete or edit option.  I clicked on the gear icon but it showed no options no matter what browser I used.  I then saw that you can ask admin in the comments to remove the post.  I did this and also emailed community@scope.org.uk asking for it to be deleted.  Additionally, I reported the post and clicked other and asked again for it to be deleted there.  There should be a delete button for when people might be in vulnerable situations.  Someone's safety could depend on needing to immediately delete a thread, like if a victim of domestic abuse has reason to believe their partner or ex is or might see their post, this would be crucial.  Please sort this out scope.

    This is a good point actually

    If it helps, you can still edit the post and delete what you wrote and just replace it with something random

    New members do not have the ability to edit their comments.

    Why isn't there an option to delete?
