MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - New User Question Regarding Forums, Threads & Posts

Hello,
New to MobileRead (but not forums in general) and had a couple of "generic/general use" questions regarding this site's allowances for forums, threads and posts (I've searched for these but came up empty):

If I create a thread then can I close it? (For instance, upon joining I created a "Greetings" type thread in the Introduction section and was wondering if I could close it at some point once it has outlived itself and it it's not just "hanging out there". I could unsub from the thread but then risk not responding to kind people who introduce themselves after I do so. Don't want to appear rude. Or can only admins/moderators close threads?)
If I create a thread then can I delete it entirely? (Not sure why I would...but again, just learning the allowances with generic questions).
If I post within a thread can I delete it? (For instance, if I post incorrect information or prematurely "Send" somehow or generally just mess up the post so badly that I would like to delete it then can I?)

Thanks in advance. Love the site and the community has been nothing short of fabulous. Glad I joined.
