Suggestion for new feature

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

One feature available on Facebook that would be nice here, would be to allow the thread starter (OP) to delete any posts to the thread he or she starts. Especially in the upper forums, sometimes a poster may be inundated with unhelpful posts that confuse the original issue. Relying on the report feature is not very efficient. A simple delete button only visible to the thread starter (and moderators) for all thread posts after the original post should do the trick.

Not a good idea. There is too much room for misuse on an informational site such as this.

Agreed. There are also those individuals who dislike getting the right information because it isn't what they want to hear and would be likely to remove the posts that should stay and leave the ones that shouldn't, causing serious concerns if someone is trying to use this site for informational guidelines.
