[dev] Allow Thread Creator to Moderate Own Thread (Forum)

[Wynn]

Nuru, responding "your idea is stupid" is a different kind of abuse. Allowing people to censor their own threads defeats the purpose of a forum.

^^This.

The point of the forums is to open up a discussion and let people's viewpoints be heard (seen?).

If this were implemented and people, as you suggested, had to start "rebuttal" threads to a topic if they disagreed with a poster's idea you're going to have multi-page madness and good topics/discussions continuously bumped to page 5. EVERYONE would want to create their own topic to lord over.

Does anyone (or the devs for that matter) really want to read 10+ threads on one single issue? My guess is "ummm........not really" based on the numerous "hey buddy, that thread already exists" posts I see pop up on repeated topics.

Just put the trolls on "ignore" (protip: then it's up to YOU to actually ignore them... if you keep taking them off so you can find out what rubbish they responded with, it kinda defeats the purpose)
