Since the LUGNET Admin can currently cancel posts without the posters'
permission, I don't see why this would be the case. I assume that my

privileges. Getting permission wouldn't be technicallly required, but
instead would be a courtesy and a double-check, so that the script wasn't
executed in inappropriate circumstances.
