Being able to edit/delete your posts would be favorite. Yeah I know there's the preview button but often mistakes can slip through a quick proof-read. For a further example, look at how many actual submission titles/commentaries are riddled with spelling and grammatical errors... Now imagine the comments.
Honestly I'm not sure that's the greatest idea. Sure it could keep us from making stupid mistakes, but it could also lead to abuse of the system. I see this on facebook a lot, where people will post something, someone else will refute them, they'll get into an argument, then one person will just remove all their comments and the second person looks like they're crazy.

The do it like several forums do: allow edits until someone replied to your post. After a reply you can't edit any more.

Would it be too much overhead to make the "edited" link to a diff of the posts?
