Why can't we delete our own posts?

[Ali.]

Just wondering, because sometimes we need to (e.g. double post).

You could always edit and just remove all typing ... and then ask the mods to remove it completely.

I know, but why aren't we given the option to delete? Is there a specific reason?

It was a decision made by the originating Admins. I am not certain the exact reason why. However, it has proven to be a good thing on occasion. I personally like it being that way, as it is a very strong deterrent to idle cross gender conversations. On forums were members can delete their own posts I find it is often abused and becomes a tool to be used for personal messages, and being deleted before a mod can see it.
