Hi Audrey,

I believe that a member has up to an hour to edit (which includes deleting) a post after they post it. After you make your post, you'll see the reply button in the upper right hand corner of your post. For one hour (I think) you'll also see a button named "edit" next to it. If you click on that, it will give you a list of things you can do to your post. I think that feature is there mostly so that if you should have writer's remorse and wish you hadn't written something, you can go back and edit it out, or delete the post altogether.

The Moderators can edit a post at anytime provided they have rights to that particular forum. That usually only happens if someone uses profanity in a post, and then we'll either edit a few words, or delete the post. We should always follow that up with an explanation as to why we did it. We will occasionally lock a thread if it's getting out of control and members are getting on each other's nerves. That doesn't happen very often.

I hope this explains things to you. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Greg
