    I'm not sure if you can or can't, but when I double post or say something another person has unknowingly, I can't seam to delete the post. Is this just me or isn't their a 'delete post' button. If so, it would be handy to have one (This counts for threads only. I am aware you can delete your posts on profiles).

    There should be a delete button below your post along with the edit button.

    Mods can delete posts(I think) but most people can't

    If you get like 20x Rude, then delete it, the ratings are gone, clean slate. This is why it was removed.

    Really, then 1 rude rating and 5 dumb ratings should be gone!!! :O (Along with 1 misspelling)
    The parent post was removed by the maker, the ratings never disappeared. You sure that happened?

    Ratings don't go, even if the post is deleted. that's why after the forums were hacked and several sections deleted, you saw people with like 10 posts and 200 positive ratings.

    Um no, thats an issue but that's not why it was removed. It was only removed when the forums got hacked. The option should be back soon.

    It'll be nice when when can delete posts again. I posted three posts when I was extremely annoyed and have so far gotten 30 negative ratings from them :/

    I never really noticed it was gone, though now that I know I feel like I'm going to be wishing it was here at some point... Seems like a useful thing to be added back in at some point perhaps.

    Logs of ratings given go away, but the ratings still stand.

    I hate to bring this back but I have something to add:

    The lack of delete button just means that we have other options. If you post something that got sme bad ratings and u want to delete the post to prevent more, just edit over the top. Tell a mod to delete the post for u etc. I feel like it would be a good idea to be able to delete posts but for now, mods have to deal with double posts

    If you want a post removed just report it.
