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

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.
