Remove Post

Excellent feature to add: "Remove Post" or "Remove Thread" button for use only by thread creator

In case of new thread where forum users have not replied, display "Remove Post" button. In case of erroneous thread posting (forum moderator replies with "Incorrect forum for thread content", or internal type code equivalent stores for that thread, display "Remove Post" ("Remove Thread") button, allowing the thread creator to unclutter that forum by removing their erroneous post.

Instance of: I inadvertantly created a new thread in the wrong forum, received a message from the forum moderator indicating my post was in the wrong forum.

If you make a post that you didn't intend to post you can delete it within a certain timeframe (10mins?) until someone replies.

If there's a post you'd like moved or deleted you can simply use the "report abuse" link (which automatically adds a link to the post) outlining why/where and a moderator will be happy to oblige.

We're trying to make a knowledge base of information for reference; so, in general, we don't want people deleting content--other people would not be able to use the information if it isn't there.
