Suggestion: make it so a poster cannot edit or delete their own posts in any thread.
Think twice. Post once.
ETA:
The poster I was replying to has deleted their post, making the thread more difficult to parse and Tom's reply below nonsensical.
They were asking for the ability to delete posts from locked threads too. From inane nonsense, to advocating for trailside violence, I've noticed they delete lots of their posts.
catsp, why do you post and delete so much? Is it a lack of integrity? Just asking questions.

Eliminating or restricting users' ability to delete or edit posts is, in a word, short-sighted and counterproductive.
Words leaving your lips are not chiseled in stone.
It should not be the case with spur-of-the-moment-stream-of-consciousness palaver that people post on the internet either.
For that matter, restricting number of edits is a HUGE obstacle for users who need to go back in an "fix" posts repeatedly - for any number of reasons.
Edit limits are the reason I have several unfinished threads on another website, which serves to the detriment of those people who might be looking for that information.
Fortunately Tom, in his infinite wisdom, has left us to our own devices in that regard.
If you treat people like adults, most of the time they'll act like adults.

^ you spotted the grammatical error there right off, didn't you?
Shall I go edit it?
"I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each."

That's just how board software works when a topic is locked. Allowing users to delete posts may just add confusion for anyone bothering to read the topic.

Members who are overly punny (3 or more puns per post average??) should be locked, especially if the threads they are wearing are somewhat lacking. Some are so fowl they should be barned for a laughtime.

A buddy of mine recently acquired this from a member of a splinter group, but I wooden want to drive it myself.
I think they should have built it out of 4 x 4s. Another guy I know said he thought it had some nice lines. I think there may be a grain of truth to that statement. He had to pass on it because it only came with a stick shift.
You can tell I'm really board now, right?

TL;DR: Truth be told, I delete my posts as "a symbol of human impermanence, smallness, and whimsy in the vast and indifferent continuum of nature." (Unattributed Philosopher)
