A simple idea for the forums

Enable the ability to delete posts for the users.

Sometimes we present things in a way that could have been handled better, and we want to erase our comments.

I just posted a post that quoted your post.
Then I selected "Edit" to edit my post. Below the text box was the option to delete my post.

I deleted it, then posted this post instead.

Edit: I just checked on a thread that I started yesterday. I could still edit my post, but could not delete the first post in the thread. Possibly because the thread is "anchored" by the first post?
You can edit the living tar out of the first post if you feel that you handled things poorly, but if you were quoted, then all you can do is retract your incorrect or inappropriate staments and continue the conversation in a more positive manner.

I do not want the ability to delete other peoples posts.

I can do that!

Method 1:
User CP->Edit Ignore List->Typo a name in the "Add a name to your list" section.

Method 2:
Click on the little icon "report to moderator" button below thier name. Note: only works on weekdays, and on truly worthless posts. Does not work if post is protected by a winkie.

Method 3:
Go to a different thread or yank computer cable from wall.
