if I remember right this was deleting ones own threads comes up on and off so there are other threads on this issue. its my understanding that there was the potential for posters to abuse deleting\ changing their own posts after so much time, like what happens on other sites I am on that do have free unlimited deleting of ones own posts and thread. it causes lots of fighting. someone will answer a post and then the original poster goes back to their post and changes it and then posts back to the one replying got it wrong they didnt post that reread their post. then a fight would ensue because the post was changed. same with deleting. someone starts a thread. people reply and then the original doesnt like the replies so they delete their original post which deletes all the replies then reposts the same thing and then deletes then reposts then deletes. its gotten to the point where people on this other site are using the deleteing to manipulate posters and cause infighting among the posters.

me Im glad there is a time limit on deleting/ editing our own posts, that kind of manipulation and infighting doesnt go on here.

there is a way to delete posts after the time frame... you contact a moderator and they will look at the thread to see if it can be deleted. you can also use the report your post to let the moderators know which thread and why you want it deleted or changed after the time limit has gone by. they will look at the thread and see if what you are asking is possible.
