This suggestion is to try to limit exit scamming. I believe the reason people are able to exit scam is because they are able to remove their posts in the Loans section. Here is why I think it might help limit exit scamming; a reputable user can just make a thread to get a loan, get it, remove it then sometime later on, make a thread for a new loan, delete it once they get it and so on.
This theory came to mind because I saw someone say they think someone was exit scamming, so I went to look at their posts and I realized, there was this other person a few days ago who removed their loan thread and recreated it (same loan, same reason why, etc).
There is no reason for donors to be able to remove their posts in that section, as that can blindside those who want to give loans out for a profit. No one will be able to view their old loans to see if they've got a loan before, whether by asking on a thread or making a post.
I am suggesting that you cannot remove your comments or threads. I am suggesting that you can edit your post, but after a certain period of time, you cannot edit it. That is to prevent users from editing it to something like "."
If there are more questions / concerns that I feel may be asked a lot in the suggestion, I'll put them here. So, please read the spoiler above before making a comment, thank you!

Question
Answer
Why should we lose a perk we paid for?
This suggestion is solely for loans, not for every section. You're only losing the perk in Loans if this were to be added. Why would this bother you?
Why can't you just look at someone's wall / rep?
Just because someone can add reputation doesn't mean they will. Just because someone can comment on a wall doesn't mean they will. Furthermore, some people limit users from posting on their wall, meaning only those they follow can post on their wall.
Why not ask around?
If you're a nondonor, you can't ask in the shoutbox. If you have a rank, what are the chances you'll find someone who actually did a loan for the user? Asking someone else isn't actually helpful. People will vouch because the person is reputable, but what if a reputable user is creating a lot of loans but you can only see one, if that, because of their ability to remove their own posts?
