We should make that configurable - on a per project basis.

My Mantis installation is used as a user helpdesk (no objections agains 
a edit or delete here) as well as a change management tool (you must 
not be able to edit or delete an old entry - but you might be able to 
give it a delted flag, but the data must stay the same)
