Why can't we delete our own posts? What if it is a double post, instead of putting double posted just delete it.

are you sure you can delete the message? if you go to edit/delete, the pop-up window gives you a choice to delete message, right?

If you made a double post just edit (read remove) the text and put a http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/1072.gif in return.
You just can't delete the whole thread.

You cannot delete a post, but like Djiant says, you can edit. And if I notice the "oops double post" when i'm going through i'll usually delete it for ya. http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/images/smiley/16x16_smiley-happy.gif

People gotta stop being impatient and wait after hitting "post now" 1 time and 1 time only.
End of double,triple,quadruple posts....heck I saw a guy do it 9 times.
Admins and moderators only can delete posts. Kinda makes peopl think twice before running off at the mouth...(though they can edit)

this is very true, i am kinda impatient. the only reason i clicked it so many times was cause my internet cut out and i wasnt sure if the posts went through. but anyway, i can delete my own posts, not just edit them.

is this just a fluke?

That's screwy..delete your own but not edit them..should be other way around.
