Well, I agree with others. There is no reason for a self moderate topic to exist. I think this feature should just be removed. No one, except a moderator, should be able to delete someone else posts.
I beg to disagree. Just because some misuse this feature (like in this case Ratimov), doesn't mean its not good. As a matter of fact, I would like to see it in some of the other forums that I am using
