As already said on our Mod board I think that people should have a right to edit their own posts, even after 24 hours are passed.

For the issue of people requesting mass deletion of posts, I'd say it should be policy to turn them down outright. That's simply irresponsible on the poster's part and it shouldn't be the forum owner's responsibility to cater to their carelessness. Deletion requests should identify a reasonable (read: small) number of specific posts.

It doesn't take that long to delete all posts of a member in this forum software. Sure it would take a while to get all of Shamou posts removed but the amount of members with that many posts is limited. I think you need around 12 mouseclicks for someone with 100 posts.
I think that threads that already have a lot of replies should be removed by request. The value of a thread that is deep in the archieves is pretty limited compared to the damage a thread can do to the person who shared private information.
We could also delete the text in the post made by the user and replace it with
Deleted by user request.
As far as workload goes I have no problem doing this a few times a month. We should generally find a solution that forum related manners that don't have to be done by Steve land somewhere where the first Mod that has some free time at hand can deal with them.
