Remove a discussion post

1. Locate the post you wish to remove in the Discussion Board page. If you are looking to delete a comment, rather than an entire post, you’ll first need to locate the main post it’s attached to. 

Once you’ve located the post, click its Headline to open its details page. On this page you’ll be able to see all aspects of the post along with any comments made.

2. If you wish to delete the entire posting, click the Remove (trash can) icon found inside of the post details.

   1. Click the Yes button. The post will be immediately removed and will be visible only to you on the discussion board page as DELETED under the post date section.

   2. You can also click the Ban button to prevent the writer of the post from creating any further discussion posts. 

3. If you wish to delete a comment within a post, browse to the Comments section of the post’s details page and locate the comment you intend to remove.

   1. Click the Remove (trash can) icon found inside of the comment’s panel.

   2. Click the Yes button. The comment will turn red and be immediately removed from the posting.

You can also click the Ban button to prevent the writer of the comment  from creating any further discussion posts.
