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.
Disagree completely with you. Just because one idiot misuse great feature, it doesn't means that we should get rid of it. I think that forum without self-moderated topics would be much worse place than we have now.
Self-moderated thread is a forum feature, there is nothing wrong with it. This is itself is a self-moderated topic and I don't have any problem contributing in this thread but if this thread was from JollyGood then I would think more than once before posting because I know he will find a way to delete my post. Just because someone is using a feature for their own benefit and making it look bad, it does not mean the feature is bad.
