As Luciente said, you don't. The post remains for all to see. I had an incident where a member deleted selected portions of the thread as each part was answered. In the end the thread made no sense at all.
You click "accept as best answer" but unless a moderator closes the thread, people can continue to discuss in it.
You can't. For the very good reason that sometimes the original poster "accepts" an answer that is completely wrong of, at best, only partially correct and others are free to offer amplifications/corrections.
Once an answer has been "accepted" the thread is flagged as such in the index but this does not prevent others from supplying additional comments/responses.
