For users to be able to edit their own posts in the DotNetNuke forums module they must be set as a trusted user, regardless if moderation is used within the particular form. It appears that the "Is Trusted" setting performs two tasks. First in moderated forums it allows users to post bypassing the moderation. Secondly it provides users with the "edit" ability for all of their own forum posts. This is done to stop any potential bypassing of the moderation system for users editing their posts as that would fall outside of the current moderation system.
If you have a forums module that only has un-moderated forums and desire to allow all users to edit their own posts you can run the following script to trust all users. NOTE: If you have moderated forums you will NOT want to run this as it would allow all users to post in the moderated forums without moderator approval.
Please let me know if you have any questions/feedback regarding this item.
