I can edit posts that you post as myself, the player, but I don't see an edit button for posts made as one of my characters! Bug alert!

Whoops, this again. I'm on it! :D

You can't edit your deleted characters' posts, since we're at it. But I can see how that could be an issue that is difficult, if not impossible to fix.

(I deleted one of my characters, and when I won two extra slots I brought him back. But I can't edit my old posts so that they belong to him again)

Yeah, when you brought him back he got a new ID number, so the posts won't reconnect to him.

Figured it would be a pain. Oh well. We can live with it. :D

Maybe offer to delete existing forum posts with the deletion of the character?

Messes up threading and destroys the records of what may well have been perfectly valid conversations, questions, answers and RPs.

Basically what I said about why I didn't think giving out the power to delete posts (originally suggested for use with double posts), but times a thousand.

Because the break in continuity in a conversation when someone's words go missing, even seemingly irrelevant words, can be quite off-putting and the time spent trying to figure out why people are joking about double posts when you can't find any is worse than having to spend .02 seconds scrolling past one. And you know the cleaning up behavior won't be limited to just double posts.
