Why Can't We Delete Our Own Posts? Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

It seems more intuitive than editing and leaving a blank post

Remove this text

If you leave a flamebait and remove it later, you can make it look like that others have launched unprovoked attacks against you. Why do you think the software leaves a note automatically if you edit your posts 5 minutes after you post them?

Got spare money?

It would be easy enough to have the software keep a copy of deleted posts - at least for a few days so as to prevent that sort of exploitation.

However, the current system works fine so there is no real need to change.
