why can't we delete our own post? like when we accidently post in the wrong forum or say something really stupid in the topic that we wanna delete.. or if our post becomes a flame war and the moderators don't delete it soon enough themselves..

 

Because there's a good chance that good data will get deleted if we let people delete their own posts. If the person that starts a post deleted it, every post after it would be lost.

Hopefully there are enough moderators to deal with flame posts

 

Mwahaha
Just tell the moderator to delete it or erase what you wrote and say "oops" its no big deal.

 

Yeah, just send us a Private Message here, and describe what problem we're having, and we'll check it out.
