It used to be possible for the OP to delete the entire thread he or she had created. This had the undesired effect that a discussion to which many had contributed could be thrown away by just a single participant.
It also used to be possible for posters to delete their individual comments without leaving a trace. When this happened, the discussion might stop making sense without any indication why.
Giving the OP the power to delete other people's posts would be the shortest route to anarchy.
Would it be possible to add a function to delete posts (for the OP) from their own threads.
I dont mind people posting things I dont agree with, its just for the foolish people who post idiotic remarks repeated for the 100th time because they cant be bothered to read thru the thread and feel their contribution needs to be heard by the world (even though they are just bleeting the same reactionary thing as their fellow "sheeple"). Also those always posting waffles and penguins to high jack threads arent helping either.
thanks
