If people themselves can delete double posts and so on there will be less work for for the (evil ) admin and the moderators (would be nice to be one, tho ).

Well, what I meant is that I've had experience on other forums where people could delete their own posts some people got either angry and just deleted all their posts or they made a stupid mistake and were ashamed of that and removed their post.

The effect was that topics did not contain the original posts on which other people replied. In the end you got very confusing topics in which people just started reacting on something which wasn't there. Wink
