I have a few more questions...you say there's usually a time limit for edits for forums who are part of crowdgather?
So why exactly does the delete function have to be removed entirely and not just time limited as well? An hour or so should be enough for people to remove accidental postings (whether being too harsh, a forum hiccup, an initial missreading of a post, or missing of subsequent posts on another page)
And also if such a time limit could be imposed could then not the initial post of the thread be disqualified from this say 1 hour grace time?
Surely such a compromise would be the best solution? And not just for emuformus, for all the forums who are a member of crowdgather.
Or alternatively there's the GameFAQs method where you can delete your posts only after you have reached a certain user level (like say Veteran) and only so if there has not been another post after it yet.
