Thread Lock

[Hilia]

Could it be possible to allow thread creators to "lock" there own thread?

For example:

-I made a help thread and i received the answer i needed.

It would be nice if can simply lock my own thread. What will prevent people bumping the thread after one year with : " Hey dude this works great".
Also people who require the same "help" can simply still find the thread and see the solution what other members posted.

-Lets say i started a discussion thread, what is getting way of topic , Then you could simply close your own thread, to prevent spam,blames etc.

To be honest i don't see any reason how this could be harmfull :

No, thats why there are mods.

We used to have this feature, and I believe it was removed because many people closed their threads but later wanted them reopened which required a moderator to do so.

You can delete your thread by going to advanced mode though.

I believe subscribers can lock their own threads, IIRC

If both of those are true, then this thread could be locked xD

Can only be possible if the user is a subscriber. Plus, it can't be locked by the user anyway, he can delete it though

I assume that this is also subscriber only, because i can't delete my own threads.

Correct, self thread-locking is a subscriber feature.

Go get a subscription! They're cheap!

Sorry I assumed it was available for all users, I think it's only if you're a subscriber or a higher rank (Gamma, Omega, etc.) since I have it

Weird, I wasn't able to use it when I was omega I believe. Well I could, but it wouldn't work past a certain date.

I was able to close and delete threads when I got Alpha member years ago. Not sure if it changed since then.

It's not really a needed feature for users. Subscribers and higher ranks get it as a privilege. If you think that your thread should be closed then just request it in the thread until a moderator sees it. That's what I used to do when I was a normal user.

All Subscribers used to be able to close and reopen their thread, but, what basically happen was that people kept close and re-open their threads. They was even to re-open it when a moderator had closed the thread. Therefore MentaL was forced to remove the feature
