By that, you mean clicking the little triangle icon at the left side, entering a descriptive message, and 'sending' the report. But ... I think the OP asked how to delete a post ... maybe how to have one deleted. However ...The easiest way is to simply report the post. That brings it to our attention quickly.
So, is it possible to have a mod delete your own post? And, if so, would the report function be the route to take (in spite of the quoted text)? If so, what is the time limit, or other restrictions?This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising messages, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.

Shessh, I wasn't asking for myself. I was just trying to clarify. Excuse me.
Also, it's possible to be online but "invisible" so just cause they're not listed at the bottom doesn't mean they're not here!
Tried to delete a post just now but couldn't do it. This is way too confusing. Maybe I'm dim, but jeeezzz...
How about a "delete" button? I'm just askin'.
This is the only way members can delete a post... by having a mod do it for them. That is why I gave the answer I did. However, I will add that you'd better have a good reason. We don't just go around deleting posts all willy-nilly.

There's a very intensive and thorough testing procedure that Moderators go through before being accepted into the Brotherhood/Sisterhood. It would be quite dangerous if every poster had the kind of powers that the Mods do. Therefore, regular posters can NOT delete post.
You can ask to have a post deleted or you can edit your own post (which can effectively delete the content of your post). A delete button? In the hands of anyone but a Mod, that could result in the formation of a dwarf star right in the middle of ECF and the protective screens would be unable to save us!!!![]()
It would cause a rip in the fabric of time and space, creating a supermassive black hole named "Bubba" that would devour us all with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
