You can't. You can, however, just go in and erase everything, and then simply write something like "Edit: post deleted"

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

The ability for members to delete posts was removed some time ago when some people felt like deleting some of their own, in order to eliminate a number to their post-count. The issue arose when they would chose to delete a thread starting post, which in turn would take the entire thread with it, and everyone who had posted in such a thread would lose their posts as well.

Quite often, this resulted in a lot of lost time and effort, as many posts contained a fair bit of humour, thought, insight or other such material. As it stands now, only Moderators are capable of deleting posts.
