OK, I have more buttons than the rest of the members because of being moderator... for example "warn". Maybe delete is another???

Yes, you do have more buttons. However, everyone should have the delete button for their own posts until there has been a follow-up post of any kind by anybody. At that point the delete button disappears and is no longer an option for the non-moderator. That is probably an option that is switchable by a moderator with sufficient permissions.
Edit to add: I believe the option of disabling the delete button upon followup posts is to preserve the continuity of a thread. If a poster is allowed to delete a post after others have responded to it the post would become unintelligible to other readers of the thread.
