Please remove the option to close own threads.

We get it, you made your own thread, Korpg. I'll even give you a pat on the back for it. :P

Teasing aside, I agree with this thread. Closing threads is just the coward's way out 98.4% of the time. The other 1.6% is some random statistic I made up off the top of my head. Anywho. People only close their threads to duck out of an argument or if they feel that nothing's getting done. In the latter case, just leave it be, and the thread will die out on its own. Most threads aren't even closed; they just lose popularity, fall off the front page, and are forgotten. There is no need to make a close thread option available to the users, other than to create a method for people to run off when they get opposition.

So yeah, down with the close thread option! /picketing

Bolded: Fixed for you.

Actually, I'm just pointing out the reasons why closing one's thread is a pointless move. If you are going to close it to save face, I'll just reopen it to throw mud in your face again. (or something like that)
