What exactly does that mean or do?
I was confused at this too. Thought it meant deleting your own thread that you made, but then I saw you could do it on other threads other than the ones you made. You actually can’t delete your own thread.
You can drain entire threads or just certain posts within a thread.
I find it helpful with some of the guides -- take Vid's Playfield Guide for instance. I can drain all the posts that are uninformative for a more efficient read when referencing later.
How can you undrain a thread? Suppose you change your mind. How do you find the thread to undrain it, and then how do you undrain?
Quoted from Nokoro:How can you undrain a thread? Suppose you change your mind. How do you find the thread to undrain it, and then how do you undrain?
