what the title says. It would save space and bandwith too 
. esp if we double post and such.
Good idea? yeah or nay.

Would be good for deleting double posting, however.. it would also let us delete posts that members already responded too.. and that pisses me off on another forum I visit.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence) -
I think this has been discussed before... IIRC, the official response was that that would allow people to post something offensive and then delete it before the mod shows up, which is inappropriate for a family site like Apolyton.

I'm surprised no one has pointed out the DP=+1 equation

Not sure how possible it is, but perhaps like the edit feature, you could be allowed to delete your own post if you deleted it before anyone else viewed it? (this message has been edited by....... only shows up if someone has viewed your post).
This would seem to be the happy medium of allowing you to delete your own post once you posted and realized it was a double post (or in the wrong forum
) without people abusing the system by posting something and deleting it after it has been seen by other posters (but not the mods ).
