Delete answer/comment button

Right, guys? Wouldn't that be nice? There are times when I deeply feel the absence of this button.

Right? Only Mods can delete posts currently, and it would nice to let all users be able to delete comments/answers they have made themselves (only theirs of course) for instances like when someone beats you to an answer by seconds and it looks like you just copied that other guys answer and are forced to edit your post in shame. Or if you are just completely wrong and didn't realize it in time and don't want to look like an idiot. Ive had my fair share of those cases where a delete button would have been nice to have.

Thanks for the support, Stone. You make me want to go protest in front of the Portland office. But I guess I'm too busy. And my brother wouldn't like it - he's working at there at the office today.

haha no problem. you could always contact support and voice your concern for the delete button. Probably the easiest way to get your request to whoever is in charge of forum development.

Right. Thanks.
