Is this something we can just do now? If we want it removing, we can?

Hello
We often get a lot more information off the boards - so worth bearing in mind when a thread has been removed. If something is causing issues in real life or the OP has privacy concerns, we will do our best to help. We don't want to make anyone's life more difficult than it needs to be.
That said, we do try to push back when deleting entire threads. We understand it can be frustrating to commentors when time is spent replying. So deletions aren't something we do without reason.

@PigInAHouse Just to clarify, yes, this has always been the case. And it's not quite as simple as 'you just have to ask'. We try not to delete entire threads (as opposed to single posts, which cause less of an issue) unless there's a compelling reason to do so. Often, we're able to find another solution for the poster which works just as well, such as moving a thread or helping them with a failed namechange etc. But we've no wish to make people's lives harder than they already are, so we will delete threads if there's a strong case for it.
It's done on a case-by-case basis really so always worth dropping us a line if you have worries about a thread you've started for any reason and we can have a chat.
