The ability to close your own thread?

**CheshireCat** · 02-13-2005, 01:03 AM

No, then people would flame and close the thread so no one had a chance to defend themselves.

**Dynafrom** · 02-13-2005, 01:07 AM

OOO good point :P

How about make the closing part for certain parts in the forum, like d2 discussuion, bots, hacks cause usually when you post something like a guide it gets spammed.

**CheshireCat** · 02-13-2005, 01:09 AM

That would require too much coding, it would be a pain in the ***.

**Obfuscate** · 02-13-2005, 02:39 AM

The ability to delete ones own thread would be good but the ability to close would prove to be a bad idea in the end. I can see people abusing that in the first five minuets of it being allowed.

I will support the idea of allowing people to delete their own threads. I don't see how that will hurt the site.

**Dynafrom** · 02-13-2005, 04:08 AM

Yeah deletion is good.

**ducky01** · 02-13-2005, 04:14 AM

no... its not in case u made a illigal thread and then cover it by deleting... i think it should stay disallowed maybe delete ur own post yes but not thread

**A|fzZz** · 02-13-2005, 04:14 AM

nah...i find its fine atm...
What are mods for then

**Obfuscate** · 02-13-2005, 04:15 AM

Moving and closing threads along with banning and warning those who break the rules.

**SDSnyper** · 02-14-2005, 06:25 PM

lol it would be creative i guess but nah.... maybe u should be able to close and open threads from the Ushop with like 2k points or somthing....

**Fuji** · 02-15-2005, 07:59 PM

Nah... You can't spend points on it because of all of the rich members. =P I think it's more of a mod thing. Regular members shouldn't be allowed to close/open. What would a mod become if that happened? Besides moving threads and editing posts and deleting threads/posts.

I don't see the delete own post thing as a bad idea though. I've accidently double posted before and wished i could delete my post.

**Crown** · 02-15-2005, 08:32 PM

I don't think either would be a good idea. Both of them would cause too many problems IMO.

Because everyone is just making Illegal threads like crazy eh? They can still see which threads are deleted...
I just think you should be able to delete ur own posts on certain conditions. Double posting is one. And to be able to delete ur own u need say 1k posts 2 rep bars and like 4 months+ Forum time. Would make sense because sometimes lag or internet issues cause doubles etc. Or maybe you ask something and some1 answers it right after u create.

**Crown** · 02-16-2005, 10:44 AM

Why couldn't we just post somewhere that we made a double post and an admin/mod could just come and clean it up? I know it's more trouble then just clicking a button and getting rid of it, but I still don't see a reason to give people the ability to delete their own posts.

**TyKe** · 02-16-2005, 02:45 PM

i think its up to the mods to think about, its not our descision, well kind of, they should have a pool on this. i agree with chesire on this one, ppl might be pussies and hurry up and close the thread so they wont get made fun of.
