<...>But there is 'delete' button on my topic/post...
You can’t delete your own OP for a topic that has received additional posts. If you’ve just created the topic, I believe you can still delete it, providing nobody has read nor posted on it yet.
Post can be deleted immediately on some boards, but require a 24 hour wait on other boards. That is due to this:
I think how I'd prefer to handle it is to prevent deleting posts within 24 hours of posting them, in the problematic sections only. Which sections are problematic?
Going over the thread where the above quote was drawn from, I believe amongst those are Altcoin Ann, Altcoin Tokens, Altcoin Marketplace, Goods, Services.
I’ve looked around for a post that covers with certainty the subset of inherent rules that apply to users when they try to delete a post/thread, but haven’t managed to find a complete one so far.
