Dang thats a shame, I understand that it is one of the jobs of an administrator to manages/delete post. But I figured allowing the thread starter to help manage there threads would help the administers by allowing them to focus on other issues. I myself have been writing a few messages to different mods to try to clean up a thread of mine of idle chit chat, but no responses in 3 days. There are so many different threads on TR and there are not enough mods to watch them all I believe this would be an awsome idea. Why not try it for a month and see?
