Unable to delete other people's posts on my wall

[Ron]

If somebody post something on my wall I am unable to delete? I have the option to delete things that I have posted, but no option to delete anything posted by someone else on my wall.

@igrewupingmail that is correct, you are unable to delete posts by other people on your wall. This is on the to do list. Do you need to be able to delete individual comments, entire posts or both?

[Ron]

I would think both, user should have complete control over what is on their wall.

@igrewupingmail I will add this to the developers to do list.
