Self-delete button

If you’re still considering design suggestions… I needed to quickly self-delete an LBN OP that I noticed was a dupe once I had finished posting it, but couldn’t quickly find the self-delete button. Wondering if it might work to set it back out on its own for visibility and speed for everyone rather than needing to first click on powers.

But it's unlikely that we'll be adding more buttons -- there is already limited space. This could be a situation where a simple name-change of the button from "Powers" to "Options" makes more sense. "Super powers" was the phrase we used on DU3 from 2011 to 2023 to indicate that there were additional things you could do to a post, and so we carried that over to DU4. But those powers were mostly for hosts and MIRT members. For mainstream use, the name isn't very intuitive.
