| Deleting Posts.
Why is it that right after you make a post you can't delete it right after? Or ever? That gets very annoying.

| So mods have proof you spammed or slapped some porn up there or something of the sort. So you can't delete your own evidence...

| mods / admins can delete
poster / mod / admin can edit posts as well...
users cant delete thier posts becuase you could just bump your post count by posting threads, then deleting them, so the evidence is gone. | |

| Well then shouldn't your post count be affected if your post is deleted?

| With a forum of this size...yes. With a forum of about 150 members and 6000 posts, it would only take about 45 seconds.

| I don't think theres a way to disable the "delete post' part of edit...It's on there on every forum I go to, weather or not you can do it, admins can do it, or no one can do it.
And how often do they actually DELETE the posts rather than just moving them? | |

| Well, it takes much less time to delete a post than split it, to be honest. From what I know Cort deletes posts like 'OMG' instead of spliting it.
Of course, us lower moderators must use a downgraded option. 
Wait, remove 'us', I'm not one of them.
