Hello.
As i see,most forums have an auto-delete botton,so that if you have made a bad post and you want to delete it momentally - you just click "x" once.Why this forum doesen't have this thingy?

this function could lead to problems so only moderators and admins are allowed to delete posts in this forum. this is not going to be changed.

simple example:
• you write a post
• someone answers (and refers to your post)
• you delete your post
> result: confusion because the context has been destroyed along with your post.

There are many forums where it's allowed if it's the last post of the thread. I find that a very good settlement.
That way you can for example delete your post if you notice just after posting that you have posted it into the wrong thread by mistake, or that you've completely misunderstood somebody.

Still, there is the likely possibility that someone else starts writing a comment to your post before you delete it; and actually posts it shortly after deletion. That way, it's still confusing and it's not unlikely to happen. Of course, the next author could delete his post as well, but chances are high he won't (may it be that he doesn't notice that the preceding post has been deleted or may he just be too lazy to care about confusion)

Therefore I believe it is still best to hint towards your mistakes in an Edit (if you misunderstood a previous statement) or to message a moderator (if you believe the post really has to be removed).

you still have the same problem if someone is just writing an answer in the moment you're deleting the post. so this is not a perfect solution. I know how I could solve this problem but I'm too lazy to implement it.
