It's beneficial to be able to fine tune a post, rephrase it to make it more understandable, correct brain farts etc. Even to completely delete it if subsequently realising it was a load of nonsense or breached house rules. A week or 2 to do that seems as much as anyone could need. But if someone has a hissy fit and decides to systematically delete all their posts en masse, it can turn a thread they've participated in into nonsense. That happened over at the amp garage forum, they subsequently decided to bring in such a time limit.
Same with the thread originator's option to delete the whole thread; I think it extremely ignorant and disrespectful when a thread I've spent time and effort researching the content I post into it subsequently completely disappears. It hasn't happened to me here yet fortunately. Of course there might sometimes be merit in getting rid of a thread, but that should require the agreement of all participants.
What do others think?
