Deleting posts is disabled

I discovered an unfortunate feature today in the new forum software.  If someone is a thread starter and they delete their initial post, they have the unintended consequence of deleting the entire thread.  This means they are deleting other people's posts in addition to their own.  Although I don't have a problem with someone deleting their own content, I'm not ok with people deleting the content of others.  To prevent this from occurring again, I have disabled the ability to delete your posts, however, you can edit them within 24 hours of posting and remove what you wrote.  This effectively achieves the same outcome, but if it isn't sufficient for a specific post, please open a Support Request for further assistance.  I have updated the FAQ with this information.
