You can currently delete this thread. It's redundant as you asked in the other thread, to which you cannot delete the other thread, nor are they going to give the ability to delete threads past the initial "I made a mistake posting this" pre-defined amount of comments, to prevent abuse.

Just asking them as a post in a thread doesn't result in that, nor does making a thread about it. They don't go reading the entirety of all threads, let alone any threads, unless something has been reported or they happen to notice while dealing with something else.

This is a reactive paid team, we do not have an involved volunteer team anymore that would lock it for you, but not delete it.

Unsubscribe from the threads, keep playing Killing Floor 2 instead.

Then it's going to stay forever. They aren't going ot delete a thread because you asked in a thread

I'm definitely not replying so this gets closer to the 7 post threshold but entirely because I want to stress you are correct

Sometimes, teachable moments are necessary.

You HAD the ability to delete this thread. Now you don't.

And no, it's NOT their job to delete threads for you.

Nor "should" you have the ability to delete threads. Just because you don't like the result/are done with them doesn't mean the rest of the community is

One was about payment processing, this ones about deleting ones own threads.
Either way, they're not there to lock/delete on request. They can as a courtesy preferably not more than one time, but that's not what they're there for. When making reports, it says this important bit;

Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.

i don’t see how deleting your own threads would contribute to “abuse” more than any other social media

That really only speaks to your own lack of creativity then. You not seeing it doesn't negate the fact that deleting all the useful responses just makes it harder for others to find the correct answers.

You have the ability to delete a thread right up until you get 7 replies. After that it is the communities thread and you don't get to destroy that discussion.

Steam is social media? I thought it was a store front and launcher...

This is a forum, not social media like fb/x.
Social media your page is within your control, like how on steam your profile is within your control.
The Public Discussion Forums, are not within users control, because users are guests.
