Can you edit and/or delete posts you've made?

If so, I can't figure out how to do it.

    A few ruin it for the rest of us. Oh well, it makes sense that you can't delete or edit after 2 hours. It holds you accountable to not say something that you may not like the next day.

I'm sorry but this isn't possible. You can apologize to anyone you may have offended. People are very understanding about having a bad day.

Why isn't this possible. Thousands of other message boards let you edit or delete for an indefinite period of time. I fail to see the logic in limiting it to a specific window of time.

Do you think there will ever be the option to delete a post within a thread? Or the creator of the thread being able to delete the whole thing?

This stems back to the big dust up a while ago. People were stirring up trouble, getting tons of reactions, then editing their posts to make themselves look like the victims. If the posts weren't quoted, then the original text was gone.
