So this wild crazy idea just popped into my head: why not give thread starters the ability to close their own threads? It would take some busywork off the mod's backs, and eliminate the middleman. It would make thread closing much quicker, so that "finished" threads can be disposed of quickly.
Just a thought Wink

That seems like a pretty good idea.

Great idea! Even if the thread starter closes the thread because they've had the last word the mods can just re-open it anyway.

Best idea I've heard in a while.

I agree. If a fight broke out or something that did not involve the OP, then they could close it if a mod wasn't in so everyone would stfu. But if the poster did close the thread to save face if they did something really retarded, they should be warned.

Well, thats why there's REPORT option.

Closing your own thread need to have extra power for users which, technically, big deal. Using the report simply to request closing/moving a thread can do the job I guess.

However, I'll still keep the idea in consideration, it can be useful

Its not like we've got a problem with closing threads at the minute, the 3 of us have it under control Wink

Well, if there was a way to only give them that option when they open a new thread.

Maybe.

I think the mods shud decide if topics shud be closed or not,if the starters of the topic or anyone else wants to close a thread,they wud report it.
