Why can't you delete threads of posts after a certain amount of time?

Pretty sure the title says it all.. I would love to cleanse my existence on here before I go (If I do) but it seems I can't even edit or delete old posts, why is this?

It literally makes no sense, on every other platform you can, fair enough on twitter you can't edit but at least you can delete.

idk its just the way its set. which i personally think they should change it so that you can considering that they wont mass delete it for you. i can understand not wanting to do it themselves, it would give them more work and whatnot but i feel that they should make it so that we can.
@Symbiote or any other mod online, opinions/reasons for why its this way?

I've been on some old basic forums and this has always been a feature.. this a pretty advanced forum all things considered so I hope it can be changed. It kind of negates the 'some safe space to talk about suicide' when the only thing post death is a literally a check mark through your name.
