'Moderate post' option

Is the moderate post link under my name there because I'm new and therefore possibly quite likely to say something stupid, or does everyone have it when they view their own posts? If it is because I am new, can everyone see it, and when does it go? Or is it just that moderators and whoever's made the post can see it?

Every member sees it under his or her own name. It's there to allow you to modify your posts--to fix spelling mistakes, or delete a post entirely, et cetera.

It doesn't go away--you will always have the option to change things after the fact, within reason: your changes must be approved by one of the moderators before they go into effect.

For the reasoning behind that, refer to this thread.

Thanks Jack, the other thread makes good sense I think, a lovely way of running a board.
