How can I delete/request the deletion of a topic I created?

More than a year ago I made a topic/discussion just warning people that a previously created discussion had heavy spoilers on it, so they wouldn't click it and get spoiled. A while later the spoiler discussion was deleted by mods, but I couldn't delete my topic anymore. Even now, when I click "Edit" and then "Delete" on the post, the edit page just refreshes and nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? And if not, can I request for a mod to delete it?

You can report your post and request deletion in the little pop up that comes up. I did that for one of my posts and was able to get it deleted in a few hours.

Wow, that worked perfectly. Thanks!

(P.s: I'll leave this thread up in case other people have the same problem in the future)

That section is empty because there is no more Forum mods.

They added a new category, Community mods, a year ago, and it's like that since then. These Community mods manage the forums too, so you can ask them instead. Note that you should simply report your thread and wait for them, it's the way it should be done; there is no need to send them a message.

Yeah, as the mods wouldn't agree to delete a thread you are not the creator of, only because it's unpopular. That would just be utter chaos in the forums if so.

Edit : Also, there was a time where you could delete your own thread, but only if the thread was not up for more than 2 hours, and that no one had replied to it yet, but i don't know if it's still like that nowadays.

@Dekom Seems like you can't report your own posts anymore, but you can use the general report form to request the deletion:
https://myanimelist.net/modules.php?go=report

Just make sure that you add a link to the thread in question because otherwise the general report form won't know what you're reporting.
You can also find this general report form under Help -> Report.

Not a big fan of people deleting their threads. After a point, it becomes a communal thread, not just your own.
