No "authority" towards Deleting own posts/threads

[Graham_A_M]

Whats the reason for having the supposed option to delete a post/thread if a member doesn't have the authority to do so?

Sometimes if there are double posts or the like, why cant I or anybody else delete them? It gets quite annoying to have to flag a post so a mod can delete it, if he chooses to that is. :dunno:

Also, whats the reason why we cant edit posts in Ask Leo? It seems much more annoying then anything.

the ask leo part is so owning will be more prevalent??

So you can't edit your ownings.

And in all other areas, it helps us keep track of what is posted to keep track of scammers/trolls.

The ability to delete was removed over a year ago sir. Mostly because of people like you.

btw....just kiddin' buddy ;)

The ask leo part I figured, the rest makes sense.
