For the fulfillment of lawfulness:
Regardless of the content a participant must be able to delete his/her posts or they must be reliably deleted by someone else.
To abide by the laws of at best most countries overrides the negative argument that the size of the database could get 20% smaller by deleting posts and it could consequently loose of its quality. The database consists of much non medication posts like melt downs, venting etc. Moreover, a positive clinical effect of this database has not been proven yet. It could be, however, that the present policy makes the participants more sick and anxious than healthy.
Research and academic achievement with an ever growing database with copyright infringements is ethically and legally questionable. Especially, when it is being considered the bad consequences and risks that it can pose, currently or many years later in a participants life. For example, consequences mentioned in the faqs or others.
maybe you scott could be given the responsible ability to delete posts and identifiers.
