You cant delete a post. You can modify it while its fresh, but thats it. If there is a post that needs attention let me know and I will review it.

Not to be contrary, but I do believe you can delete a post using the edit function…
I will add a post that says "TEST" then attempt to delete...

After posting the TEST reply, I went back and clicked the EDIT button just to the left of the QUOTE button and went to the following screen…
As far as I know, only the posting member sees the EDIT button on his screen...

Here is a screenshot…

I typed in "Just a test" in the "REASON FOR DELETION" box, then clicked the "DELETE THIS MESSAGE" button…

I've used this to delete posts in the past, and thought I would pass along that knowledge.

Sorry for the huge pic, I thought Imageshack would resize it as requested through the Imageshack upload page, but apparently there are times it doesn't resize as it is supposed to.

According to forum rules as far as I remember you only have 30 minutes to delete. After that you have to contact administration and they will delete it for you.

Thanks TJ, I knew I was able to delete, but I was unaware of the 30 min rule...

Yeah, I had forgotten about that to until I posted awhile back on a different thread and awhile later re-read my post and found out I had spelled some words wrong...and the delete option was gone.
