Is there a method (or future plans) for a teacher to delete a thread ? I know you can delete individual entries in Moodle, but this can sometimes be tedious if the thread contains many many posts.

Any ideas, comments???
Reading through some previous discussion threads, there appears to be a simple way to delete an entire thread.
1) Split the offending branch so that it becomes its own thread.
2) Create a temporary forum called 'Garbage collection'.
3) Move the unwanted thread from its current forum to 'Garbage collection'.
4) Delete the 'Garbage collection' forum.
I tried this out, and it seems to work just fine.

Good tip Steve. I ran into this exact problem in class tonight when I was using a forum for student practice. Once the practice was over, I simply wanted to delete the thread, but found I couldn't without first deleting every reply. I ended up deleting the forum. Spliting a thread into a garbage forum is a good workaround.
I can imagine there would be a time when a teacher may want to keep a discussion thread, but simply delete the contents of a inappropraite post in the thread. It would be nice if the teacher could simply open a post and delete the offending text from a given post.

This is a much needed piece of functionality. As mentioned by a previous poster students can easily digress into unsuitable discussions!
When are we likely to see this being added?
Cheers,
