Why can't my regular users delete their own posts in this forum where I've allowed it in permissions?
Use the permission mask on a user to find out which permission setting prevents (some) users deleting their own posts. Members can belong to different groups and a group permission NEVER in one group will override the setting YES from other groups.
BTW your topic title refers to topic deletion (which includes posts made by other members).

On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

I thought that the point of these masks is that it takes into account the group perms.
knowledgebase:
If you type a user's name into the "Find a member" box for any of the five permission types and click "View permissions" it will display that user's resulting permissions, taking into account all of the user's groups' permissions.

It does, but as 3Di suspects

What's the Limit deleting time in ACP->post settings->posting?
I tested this 5 minutes ago and effectively if the time limit is reached a member with delete permissions will not be able to delete posts. (I actually forgot to test this as administrator with full permissions). to 3Di for thinking about that.
Added: apparently the time limit doesn't apply to Admins.

If the registered users group has a No permission for something, but a member of that group has a Yes user permission for the same thing, the mask will show Yes, but since you haven't shown us the trace, we don't know. Use a real user, not a testuser.
