Sometimes I have posted an item that was incorrect or otherwise out of place. Could we have the ability to delete the complete post for a 24 hour period rather than show our stupidity to the group. Some times an edit does not give the poster enough control to remove the incorrect information. I know the old site let us delete posts for a long time, some forever. I know you can request a moderator to do it but by then my blunder is exposed to everyone and the illusion that I am perfect is shattered.

Well, you've shattered my illusion by admitting that you're not perfect. :o I tend to ignore typos and other errors as I blame them on the computer., so in my eyes, everyone is perfect....
Anyway, everyone has a full 1440 minutes, (24 hours) to edit their posts. After that, we have to assume that you meant what you said.
Seriously, if you cannot edit a post before that timeout, let me know, I just checked the setting and that's what's allowed.

Edit is fine, but there are times I want to delete the whole thing. If you try that in and edit you get the message there are not enough words and it reverts the post back to the original one. I admit it doesn't happen often but there have been a couple times I wanted to just delete it and forget it.
