Is there any specific reason we are able to delete posts in the "Talkback" section, but not any other section? I think it would make the mods jobs easier if we're just able to delete our own posts if we make a mistake...

May I just ask how we are able to do that?

I think you can delete your post within a limited time period immediately after you post in any sub-forum.


Edit: Maybe not. However, it does say "Deleting posts" at the top, which is inaccurate.

phpBB is designed that, when the privilege is granted, a user can delete his/her own post, giving it to be the last (newest) post of a thread. Once there's a reply following it, even the poster him/herself can no longer delete it; only mods can.

On most fora of ANN, this privilege is NOT granted to regular forums users (myself included), however, there are three exceptions: Talkback, Music, and Retail. I have no idea why they were set up in that manner, though.
