Allow users to edit their own ideas and comments
As long as no one has voted/commented on my newly-created suggestion yet, I should be able to...
(1) change the title/description without restriction... if, say, 5 minutes later I think of a better one or spot a typo in it or whatever...
(2) completely delete it, no questions asked, if, say, I realize right after posting it that it was lame, or I find out it's a duplicate or whatever...

Greetings from UserVoice,
A couple weeks ago we released a feature that allowed end users to edit their own comments.
Now, they can also edit suggestions they create on the web portal.
Thank you all for the feedback.

Related: You should also be able to edit/delete your own comments that you post on other people's suggestions. (See "edit your own feedback after it's saved" <https://uservoice.uservoice.com/suggestions/3421>)

Most forums that I've used (f.e., vBulletin on ubuntuforums.org) let you edit your comments after they're posted. Sure, there's a small risk of abuse, but the benefits outweigh those. :)
AT LEAST let us DELETE our comments if we no longer like them; then we could post a second comment that we like better!

[ I would have titled this "edit your own COMMENTS after their saved" since "feedback" can be somewhat ambiguous, but alas, there's no way for me to edit your title, and it would seem rude for me create a new suggestion with my preferred title and then flag yours as "duplicate"... :) ]
