A thread is a series of posts that you reply to, report and mark with a like.
A thread consists of a series of posts that appear page by page. At the top are the title, the link back to the category and, if there are any, the thread’s moderators (“Moderated by …”). Pinned threads carry 📌, locked ones 🔒. Each post has an author card with the name on the left and the text on the right.
You reply below the last post in the “New reply to the thread…” field, or directly to a single post with “Reply”. A star on the thread gives a like for the whole thread. If a thread contains a poll, you select an option and vote with “Vote”.
You can send other people’s posts to the team for review with “Report”. Your own posts can be neither edited nor deleted in the interface. Deleting, locking, pinning and warnings are handled by the moderation team.
