The phpBB bulletin board allows the moderators to disapprove or delete the forum topics. Sometimes when we try to disapprove the forum topics it will show a “you are not authorised to access this area” message even though you logged in with a valid account to disapprove or delete the topics.
This article shows how to delete the topics or posts which are not allowed to disapprove in the Moderation queue.
