It's not possible to make a topic self-moderated if you didn't select "self moderated" when creating the topic.
Wow, sad to hear...
So, once a topic is created it can get filled with spam and we can't prevent that, we are just dependent on moderators deleting it?
Recently, even bans are not handled anymore consistently.
Would be nice to enable it to combat spam more effectively.
That's how it should be and I don't agree with allowing users to do so.
The poster has the right to know if his/her post can be deleted by the topic starter when making the post.
Doesn't make any sense in my opnion because I see zero reasons to disable it. It's just beneficial for scammers.

I can agree here but that could be solved by making it possible for the OP to delete only post which were made after the topic gets changed to self-moderated.
Easy solution in my opinion.
No need to disable a change towards self-moderation retrospectively.
Same goes for adding polls.
It's a solution but that would split the discussion into 2 parts on 2 different places...
