Why can you not delete posts?

It is indeed because of the rewards. Once somebody has voted on it he is earning curation rewards with it. It would be unfair to "steal" the other users their rewards for voting :)

Also note that there is no real deleting on a blockchain, everything is public and permanent once you post it, the only difference is if it is displayed on frontends like steemit.

👍 musing, anomaly
