Who can remove messages posted by users other than themselves?
Normally only an instructor or TA can do this. It is possible, however, to grant this authority to other users. The procedure is as follows: • From the Control Panel , select Discussion Board under the Communications Center heading. • Select Modify for the appropriate discussion forum (privileges can be extended only one discussion board at a time). • Under Forum User Setting is a list of all registered users. Select each user to be given removal privileges, then press the Admin button. • Submit the modified form. Users so selected gain not only the ability to delete any message from the discussion forum, but also full archiving privileges (including the ability to create new archives). (N.B. Although graders technically can be given this authority, they do not have access to the discussion board.) .
