How do I delete a post.

My friend Masalai sent me an message telling me that it's easy, but this dumb ass redneck can't figure it out.

If you click "edit" and then "go advanced" there will be an option to delete a post, but with the following restrictions:

1.) A post can only be edited or deleted within 7 days of when it was posted. (this idea is that someone shouldn't be able to go back and change "history" once the discussion has grown upon it.)

2.) You can delete posts but not threads (you can't delete the first post of a thread because of this; the idea is that you can't ask a question or spark a discussion and then delete the origin; this is currently an on/off switch though without a provision to allow deletion of a thread with no replies)

3.) You have to have at least 5 posts before you can delete your own posts. (this is to keep brand new users from creating confusion and making moderation difficult.)
