Honestly, I agree with this. Forum discussions basically become unusable if members can randomly delete everything they ever posted years after the fact, and I've seen numerous Reddit posts that now make zero sense because a bunch of users used one of those 'comment override' scripts. It gets even worse if the user can delete the whole topic, since it also removes a bunch of posts from users who may not want them removed.
I don't see no issue with forums and similar sites not allowing contributions to be deleted.
P.S. Also, for the longest time, most forums didn't even allow account deletions. Kinda curious when the expectations changed there, since I distinctly recall the likes of vBulletin and XenForo not letting members remove accounts or content.
