Why can't we delete out own posts anymore?

Just curious, really... I'd like to know the reason behind this change.

It's not a change. It's always been that way. Perhaps you're thinking of another Board? Allowing Members to delete posts creates specific problems. If you need to edit everything out of a post this can be done. As for submitting a post and deleting it later: Think Twice, Post Once

...Then why is it listed as one of the changes (I'm lookin at the list of Forum Rules at the top of this page as I reply...)?

...As for the "Think Twice"-part: You guys really think that I think at all with the amount of time I spend in front of one of these boxes at school and at home...

C'mon guys, you're asking too much!

They aren't changes as in stuff changed from the previous software, they are rules concerning changes

Is there something in the Forum Rules that says Members may delete their posts?
I'm lost.

Nope, Just the following.

Changes: Messages can be edited by their author. Messages can not be deleted by their author. (Think Twice; Post Once)

I think tony.s confused this for changes made to the forums.
