I would like some guidance on the EDIT and DELETE posts functionality.

At the moment I allow only FORUM ADMINS to Edit or Delete posts.

However, I am considering allowing users to Edit and/or delete their own posts.

What I would like to know is whether it is possible to inhibit somebody from Editing and/or Deleting their post once a further post has been made to a thread. However, I still want Forum Admins to be able to do this.

This will stop individuals from removing posts which are essential to the reading and understanding of the thread - whilst allowing them to correct errors or delete a post they are not happy with before somebody responds to it?

If this is not possible now - I'll ask whether a MOD exists for this or can be developed. Thanks!

Admins & moderators can always edit/delete posts.

Normal forum users if given edit/delete permissions can edit their posts at anytime, but can only delete their post up till the time somone replies to their post.

I only allow my users to edit in case of misspelling or something.  They don't get the option to delete.
