Any chance of a delete button

[#1]

So you can delete your post if it doesn't make sense?

[#2]

Use the preview button. It takes the same amount of time, you just need to change the order you do things in.

[#3]

Thanks for that geewizz but my suggestion is simply if you do go that extra step, re-read the thread and want to remove your post.

[#4]

There did used to be a delete button, but it was removed after misuse.
Just edit your post out and put it didn't make sense.

[#5]

Alternatively - if you really want it removed - click on the report to mooderator link and request removal.
We can't delete it but we can remove it from public view

OOPS wrong thread.....

[#7]

No all I was asking for was a delete button for your own posts.

[#8]

and the reply by addiewoo covered that.
It was before your time I think but a user deleted all his posts which really messed up a lot of threads

[#9]

Sorry, thought that community thought I was making a bid for moderation 

[#10]

Sorry, I should explain that my "OOPS, wrong thread" referred to a reply to another thread I had just typed and sent...but to the wrong thread and there was no way of deleting my comments.
cheers
LATER : having just read my above, if you understand what I wrote, you're a genius . I should have more lessons in writing good english!

You can't report your own posts can you?  Or has that changed?

Edit:  Just tried it, and it doesn't work.

You could change the message to contain some profanities that are sure to get someone else reporting it to the moderators.

You learn something every day

Yes, I remember it being removed.
I can't remember the last time I needed to remove one of my posts, but I guess you can always edit the text to 'removed' .. or something like that. I don't seem to get it on these forums now, but on the old phpBB forums I used to often accidentally make a duplicate post and it was handy to be able to remove the second one.
Thing is though, if someone were to edit all their posts and remove all content, then that would mess up threads as well. Not as much as if the post was removed, but you still wouldn't know what people were replying to.

[#15]

At least you would know something had been going on though.  If I remember right, when the incident happened and someone deleted a load of their own posts, it got very confusing as it wasn't obvious that the deleted post ever existed.
