If I make a post that I later decide isn't appropriate to the thread or otherwise decide to delete, why is that a problem for you? Unfortunately, there isn't an option for members to actually delete their own posts. I do this every now and again, but it is almost always immediately after I made the original post and realized my mistake.

Once you post it, you own it.
We have already had to impose limits on post editing to curtail such vandalisim... yet the issue persists.

In my opinion, it seems counterproductive to make multiple additional posts to indicate if an item is no longer for sale, when the post could simply be edited to place a strikethrough.
But by making a new post with a price drop or change in sale status (sold, or no longer available, for example), it brings the thread to the top of the new posts list, so people realize there's been a change of information. It also effects a notification to those who were "watching" the thread, letting them know that new information has been added.
I dont agree with anonymous posts...

A good example is Smithsonia's posts, when he makes edits to his original prose. Does it not work that way for everyone?

Please don't delete the content of your post and leave it with just "Deleted." or "Delete me." etc. If you double post or make a redundant post, please annote the post as such but do not obliterate the original post. Same goes for posts you delete yourselves... Leave the content intact.We have already had to impose limits on post editing to curtail such vandalisim... yet the issue persists. Your openness with your edits and deletion requests is appreciated.

If I post something, its is mine. That is it is my intellectual property. Intellectual property law that has evolved since the thousands of boards have cropped up show precedent that the post BELONGs to the poster and not the forum. Now I havent removed chunks or my few posts, but if I decide to do it because I believe I have made an error, or think the post is out of line or may even get me in trouble, under IP law, I ever every right to remove it or request that ti be removed and have it done. Technically under IP law as it realtes to these forums, if someone with hundreds of posts wanted them all deleted, then that is thieir right since they own what they wrote and the moderators cannot refuse to remove what does not belong to them.Just something to think about.
