The only negative with a user having delete priviledge is if there is a dispute between members or forum owners and someone leaves upset; I have seen with other forum software where they delete all of their posts...this then leaves big gaps in threads and they don't make much sense to new readers.

So for this fact I would suggest if you add the delete own message priviledge you use the same time value as found in the edit their own messages option. 99% of the time the user wants to delete because they enter a post and then realizes it was answered further on in the same thread and they look stupid...thats when they want to delete it and often PM a mod to do it for them.
