A user having the right to soft-delete (or hard-delete) their posts is a feature that would be considered ethical. There is many times where the user would like to delete their post to avoid embarrassment. However, deleting a thread is not what most administrators want to grant a user for in fear of deleting entire threads can be disastrous to a community. Leaving the options open for administrators to determine which preferences they prefer would be most acceptable.
