Users won't have the ability to delete their own posts, you can edit it, but not delete. This helps to prevent users from deleting entire threads that could potentially contain useful information for others.

Here's a scenario. Someone starts a thread on some game asking for information, a bunch of people respond with really great and useful information for that person. The original poster then decides to delete the thread because he got the information he wanted. Now the thread is gone and someone else looking for the same info can't find it.

If a thread needs to be deleted it should be brought to our attention, and soon enough to our mods attention.

Does that seem fair?
