I'd like to move Close and Delete to the Tools menu (now that we have that menu). This menu is generated based on what you have the privilege to do, so that's a better place for these items. Doing this also reduces the number of options a user has to consider on each post. Flag should stay visible so that it's obvious to everybody, including casual visitors, that you *can* flag bad stuff if you see it (like spam). Suggest Edit/Edit is available to everybody (in one of those forms) and making it visible serves an informational purpose; new users might not realize that people other than the author *can* edit posts. So I think both of those should remain on the post proper even though they are, *technically*, tools. Moving these items to the Tools menu does make it a little harder to see that you can delete your own post. Maybe we should show the *author* the delete link.
