I see two problems here.
1) In the controller you are using params[:user_id] when it should be
params[:id]
2) Your form isn't telling the controller what to delete.
instead of
<% form_tag(:controller => "posts", :action => "destroy", :confirm =>
'Are you sure?') do %>
<%= submit_tag("Delete") %>
<% end %>
maybe
<% form_for @post, :url => {:action => 'destroy'} do %>
<%= submit_tag("Delete", :confirm => 'Are you sure?' %>
<% end %>
