Please give us a Delete button

Sorry but this forum isn't going to function like Twitter.  Too many times I have seen news articles about people posting and then "immediately" deleting twitter posts, for whatever reason, and usually those posts are derogatory, inflammatory or negative in some fashion, but as we all know, there are people out there that hang on every word, especially from celebrities, so someone will see what you posted, regardless if it stays or is deleted.

Like the saying goes, "good news travels fast, bad news travels faster".

I would prefer if edits within a certain time frame should still be allowed, but I was thinking that the ability to delete a post entirely should only be allowed if it's the last post in a thread.  Once on some website I was in a flamewar and the guy subsequently went back and deleted all of his posts in the thread entirely, making it look like I was a nutbag having an argument all by myself So I think there ought to be some provision to take that into account.  Likewise, when deleting a Topic, obviously the user could only delete it if nobody had yet responded.

LOLOLOLOL, makes you a little bit madder too, doesn't it, lol
