you don't - but i've seen your other posts and i think i know what you're asking.
Forums are either the whole messageboard (as in "Aquaria Central is a forum for people to ask questions about their fish") or the specific categories - Freshwater Newbie Forum, Catfish Forum, Cichlid Forum, etc. Threads are individual questions/lines within a forum, and posts are the individual responses.
I think you want to know how to delete a THREAD, and so in that case you would contact a moderator (their names are in red), ask them to delete it, and explain why. If you want to delete a post that you have made, either do it within the time frame allowed (there is an "edit/delete post" button) or again, ask a mod to remove it for you. They have the power.

If you delete an entire thread you have to delete everyone's posts within that thread...which some people may not like.
I once tried to delete a post and was only able to edit it, not remove the entire post. What did I do wrong?
AC hasn't allowed the deleting of posts for some time now. I don't think you could ever delete a thread but if you want it locked you can ask a mod.
If you no longer want your post to show, and you do it within the edit time allowed, edit the contents down to nothing or a single statement that it has been intentionally removed. I have also seen people put things like "posted in error" and the rest of the post was gone.
