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

[AdvancedWind]

People from all and any sides will delete and moderate anything they disagree with, this idea wouldn't work at all.

[Jinko]

Firstly you are posting in the wrong sub-forum.

The reason why so much hate is directed to the suggestive post's in the general forum is because most of the trolls hang out here.

Go to the relevant sub-forum in the case of this post you would want SITE FEEDBACK > FEEDBACK & SUGGESTIONS.

Saying that I don't think having the thread starter being able to dictate what others say in their thread is a good thing.

[Gramul]

At first I wasn't so keen on the idea, but then I saw your edit and I think that's reasonable.

[Nuru]

I hate the fact that trolls kill almost every idea that someone posts that is good and or could start a good idea in the game, and I think if the Thread Creator could delete Posts in the threads, we could eliminate 100's of troll posts that serve no purpose at all.

This could also help the moderators save time.

Please LIKE this post if you think this is a good idea. (I know the negative trolls wont)

Edited: (For those who think that their opinion wont be heard, an option where you can view deleted OP posts should be allowed, this way you can see how Biased the OP is, and if the deletion is of value)

I think it is a considerable idea. I mean, of course, it would make things easier for the mods, and i have seen many posts that don't really have the constructive feedback that some OP's ask for.

Some topics made by people that really would'nt abuse this idea, Cairdeas, starlord, Moth, Rentahamster.. etc.

If they did abuse the power, then people have a right to report that member for being one-sided. It would be easier for the mods to actually point out the trolls.

Either way, it makes the mods an easier job and it keeps the actual good threads from being taken over by said trolls.

Pretty much what everyone has already said. Easily to abuse. No thank you.

/like for OP ^^

I think it would also make people think twice before posting something like "LOL go back to WoW N00B!!!@#@#" and end up posting something like "i disagree because..." or not post at all if they have nothing constructive.

Pretty much what everyone has already said. Easily to abuse. No thank you.

"some people have" not everyone.

If you think about it, isn't it easy to abuse every thread as it lies? All you have to do is say. "Nope, i dont agree, your idea is stupid."

Now if that were to happen, the OP could delete those posts and people could easily ignore trolls and be able to actually post their own opinions and not be influenced by these short-sentence posts, give more of a reason why something doesn't work or why it would work.

OP's shouldn't even be bothered to delete constructive posts like that because they are actually worth reading.

FYI, I'd edit everyone's post so that it links to deliciously illustrated fanfics of Final Fantasy/Voltron/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover romance stories.

You really don't want me to have this power.


"Leonardo longingly gazed at the empty giant mecha lion...it only seemed to remind him of Squall nowadays. Tears soaking his blue bandana, he rubbed his cheek against the smooth metal of his own gargantuan mechanical pussy-cat and let out a heavy sigh. He tried to hold back the happier memories of him and Squall at the carnival together in endless bliss, juggling materia, eating pizza, and learning magic from zombie Dumbledore.

From the tall grass, a wild chocobo appears!

Leonardo resists the temptation to pull out his pokeball once he sees that the chocobo carries a message.

"Wak wark! A letter from Squall desu!" squealed the horse bird.

Boco barfed up a small pink envelope. Leonardo picked it up, carefully opening it with a furious NINJA TURTLE SLASH.

His hands trembled as they unfurled the letter within..."

This. If it was changed 99% of the post here would be about how great the game is and SE can do no wrong.

So your saying that NO ONE can create any threads about how they dislike the game? OR hate threads? What I'm saying is DON'T TROLL others positive/idea threads because you hate the game. Constructive Threads are how the game improves, not Trolling them

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.
