I am unsure if you can allow a user to delete their own messages. I honestly think this is intentional, because the current going "netiquette" is to disallow users to delete their own posts. Heck, most forums disallow editing of own posts after 10 minutes.

The reasoning the communities use when they disallow deletion of posts is to preserve continuity, combined with abuse, flaming and criminal protection. If a user posts something "bad" on a site that "you" are responsible for, it is important that they cannot quickly "cover their tracks" if you need to pursue the problem. Not allowing users to delete posts makes for better posting and more caution and thought before hitting that lovely submit button.

I have my Flood setting to 60 seconds
