And you all wonder why I have to make the restrictions I do...

Usually just obvious pettiness from some members. I've had members in the past get their panties in a wad over something and then in apparent spite, go through their posts and delete or edit out as much as they can to apparently "get even". So, of course, I have had to restrict this ability to try and limit such damage people with this sort of personality disorder will try to inflict. But apparently even those restrictions then in place were not enough of a safeguard.

Why else would someone go into their posts and remove photographs to make their posts useless?

Here's some perfect examples of what I am talking about:

Bobby Hill (varnyard) is just the latest in the list of members to pull a stunt like this....

Prior to that, we have these examples from Sara Gatto (clarinet45) where the complete text was edited out of the posts:

So what do I do? Cut out deleting and editing altogether in order to keep such people from flaunting their pettiness? In order to prevent this, then people posting classifieds will then lose the capability of deleting or editing their classified ads.

So do I just ignore this sort of behavior and allow it to stand as a display of a member's own personality quirks, or do I make everyone suffer trying to prevent them from this sort of abuse?

Fortunately Bobby stepped down from being a moderator and was removed from that position before he could inflict even more damage in the forum he was a moderator of.

So, any questions about why I have to make the rules and restrictions that I do around here?
