Quote - Members have always been restricted to deleting/editing their own posts within 15 minutes of posting them. After that, they can't. It has always been this way (or at least it has been for the past couple years, since well before the changeover). This is because being able to delete/edit a post at any time would potentially make many threads no longer make sense, and could pose problems when one member complained about a TOS violation and the violator deleted/edited before the moderator could get around to fixing it, etc. We will not be changing the way this works. This is a permanent feature. If for intellectual properties reasons you want one of your posts deleted, you can send it to a moderator and I'm sure they will be more than happy to do so for you. N

Editing posts has been restricted to fifteen minutes from the time of posting a message, but you could indeed delete your posts at any time before the recent forum changeover. I've done it myself on one occassion and I have read many, many threads where this had been done (it would just state "Message deleted by username). Often it was the first message that was deleted and sometimes that meant you couldn't even tell what the whole long thread was about.

Whether that was a good policy or not can be debated, but to say it was always prohibited after the first 15 minutes is just plain incorrect...sorry...
