I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, I like the option of deleting a thread that I started. On the other hand, I'd hate for what I spent time writing in someone else's thread to be deleted.

One option to making sure the thread deletion is not used frivolous is to require a $10 or $20 donation to a charity if someone requests a thread deleted. But then that runs into the problem of people wanting to stay anonymous and hence the reason for the request to have the thread removed. It's hard to stay anonymous if you're sending money online.
