    There's no delete if the post is the threadstarter, you can only delete posts within the thread.

    That means that only moderators can delete threads. Regular users cannot.

    Could users delete their own threads before? I have never been to a forum where that is allowed.

    iirc that was ok only when there were no other posts in the thread than the 'thread starters first post'.
