Delete post button

Might be nice to add this feature if possible and not too much hassle? Would save a few of the threads with a random dot in them

Could cause a lot of havoc if abused, I don't think even Pinside let you delete posts. Generally editing it to say 'duplicate post' is enough.

Really? They have it on other forums I use and it's fine.

Yeah it works if it leaves behind a little notification where the post was of 'Post deleted' or something like that, I have seen sites where say there are 3 posts, post 1 is an inflammatory comment, post 2 is something adding fuel to the fire and post 3 is someone yelling post 2 for being a terrible person - then post 2 gets deleted and it looks like post 3 is yelling at post 1 instead and then those 2 people just argue about it, it can be abused if not done right.

That's exactly why I have left the 'edit' button enabled - delete does get abused - I would rather have a '.' and as an admin be able to check what was written (just in case), rather than no trace.... In my experience it does let abused - hence why it's disabled...

Didn't realise it was so problematic
