I am a user in one site that using discourse. However, I want to delete some replies (not a post) that I posted before. I noticed that there is a limit that you can delete per day, and I think that limit is 10 per day if I counted correctly.

I just have a question that why this limit exsit in the first place, since the reply does not effect other replies and discussion in a post. As of now, the user has no right to delete a post that has mutiple replies, no right to remove the account completely (only anonymization: which is just changes name and removes profile. Your personal information in posts and replies remains and can still be easily identify), and no right to hide edit history. So does that means every post and reply that a user made, is belongs to the website and has no or very limited control? If you want to share something personal then years later decided not to share, you have no right to change or delete it?
