The author of the post should be able to delete it just in case they make a mistake... Then they get reported... They should be able to fix their mistake before they get in trouble for making that mistake

You could just edit out this 'mistake'.

Reported for..? That's exactly why we do not give users this ability. If they post something such as scamming or a hack or something and get caught by a user, they'll just remove all evidence of that happening and continue using these forums. If you're talking about making a double post and a user reporting you, the staff knows not to take action against such things anyways. If you make a "mistake" when posting a thread, just use the report feature to let the staff know - we'll take care of it.

AFAIK, you can only delete your own posts untill someone posts after you.

I can assure you it will never be , this was effective long ago

Some forums also have a time limit on editing, to prevent (mainly) users altering posts that are already replied to..

 

 

 

Best way to stop "double submit" double posts, is to have a minimum time limit between posts.
