This will always be a touchy subject. Both arguments are valid. The right to modify or delete your post needs to be kept. As does the integrity of the forum, posts can not be made then deleted or modified as we could end up with a lot of edited posts that don't mean anything.

A solution could be that after a set period of time only a moderator can edit/delete a post. How long does it take to realize you've stuffed up and put you foot in your mouth? 15m 30m 1h 2h

Sounds perfect to me. And this is pretty well how every other forum on the interweb is setup.

maybe they dont want to say anything cause they know they cant delete their posts anymore..

So let me get this right, the only argument so far to have the option to delete your own posts is so that we can post things that will offend some people but be able to delete it so that we dont offend a lot of people?

Am I right?

I personally don't think this a major item.

New Policy - Editing and Deleting Posts

Once a post is made you can edit or delete it up to 2 hours after it is made. After that a Moderator will need to edit or delete it, leaving an explanation.

Well said SandB, it is more important to think before posting, than to be able to delete after the fact.

The policy outlined by Hammers seems fair to me, I don't think I have had to delete a post of mine since I've been on the interweb , but as a moderator I have had to delete posts that were defamatory, abusive, or rude.

We have to remember that there is very little way to get across the subtlety of the spoken word, the humor, sarcasm and stupidity can very easily be misconstrued.

So think twice, post once
