Forum closing

Not sure if I'm supposed to puit forum based ideas here, but I have one. You shhould make it so when a person makes a thread they have minimal mod powers over their threads noly, or at least the right to close it.

Reg Mods can close threads unless it has changed, but only in their own Forum they Mod over.

I mean each user can close their own threads and such w/o being a mod

Some people may abuse moding there forums. The only "powers" they should have on there thread is able to delete other peoples post (if necessary, like if your asking for a rating and they give you a bad one you delete it, then no) or closing the thread if something you asked was answered etc.

that's y i said at least closing the thread. I know too many powers would make people abuse, i mean ability to close mostly. others would be unneeded for most things, except for deleting arguments that brew

People closing their own threads would be a complete disaster to these forums...

not really it would allow people to end their threads when they get off topic or it no longer has a purpose but a mod doesnt seem to feel it needs to be closed

Let's say I had a house, and I invited my friends to visit it, and to express themselfs there.

Let's say these friends starting ruining my mom's favorite lamp, or my dad's favorite gadget, would I kick them out, or scold them? I think so...

Let's say they were smoking dope... I would tell the Police.

Consider the thread my house, the friends you, and the police the super mods.

I agree, first time someone said something somebody didn't like "WHAMO" thread closed.. we would have more thread closings that new ones started..

*shrug* if you want to kick your friends out of your house at random then go ahead, it's your house.

Would only create chaos on the forums, and anger people needlessly.

Indeed.
Giving mod powers to Graalians is not going to decrease the pointless moderation that is going on.

That was not his plan nor aim or suggested solution to such a thing...
He only wanted the power to close threads/minimum moderation powers.

Im just saying you would close threads, like the house analogy, if you want to close the door and stop new people from coming in, then you should be able to, without telling your parents (Mods), or the police (supermods). Also a normal mod could ovvveride the power if needbe and prevent the thread from closing if the person who made it abuses.
