No, there's no way to prevent them from deleting their posts. I have lobbied for this as well. Others argue that members are legally entitled to remove their own content. I think the legal argument actually goes the other way, because users grant non-exclusive license to display their content in any way, shape or form. The current TOU does not require to allow users to remove their posts, and I feel strongly that a group should be allowed to disable that ability. There are threads on beta about this. You might want to have a look.

I had thought that, if I disabled Editing Posts, it would not allow members to delete their own posts.? This doesn't seem to the case.?? Am I missing something?? Is there a way to prevent people from deleting posts?? I'd like the mods to be able to do it in case of spam that comes through, but hadn't wanted members to be able to do this.?? Thanks.?
