Locking your own thread

It may all seem new to the staff because it grants you "mod" powers. It doesn't really hurt to try something new. Maybe we can give it a try for a week or two.

 

Brilliant idea! I support this so much my eyes bleed.

 

Good Idea! Reckon it should get accepted, Even though I couldn't give a ....

But still, Sounds shiny, I'm behind it!

 

Bad suggestion. Users will just play around with the thread locking and unlocking it. Mods can do this.

 

I don't think I even understand one word you said.

 

Gr8 idea im 100% behind it!

 

Good idea this will cut down on spam as people can lock there thread if for example they are asking a question and it gets answered yet tons of other repeat the same thing causing uneeded spam.

 

Why have locking perms, when you can PM one of the staff members to lock it for you. Simple.

 

If hundreds of people PM mods at the same time requesting for a lock, it would be a disaster.

 

It looks to me like the staff are managing locking/deleting requests rather fine.

If anybody needs there thread locked, then just go here:
Default Need a Thread Locked, Deleted, or Moved [Please Read] & Thread Title Changes

 

This is an interesting idea. The main point of this update wouldn't be so much as to allow users to lock their own threads quickly (when is it urgent?), but more to take some busywork off of the moderators' hands.

Honestly, I'm sure the mods have better things to do then lock vouch threads and flamefests. There's really no way anyone could abuse this, and it would relieve the mods of a considerable amount of grunt work and thread babysitting.

Overall, I think this would be a great little update to make out (and the mods) lives just a bit easier. I'm not sure how easy this would be for the admins to do in the backend, bit if it's easy I'd definitely say it's worth it.

Sorry lol. Was posting using T9 dictionary on my phone. Edited post.

 

i want this idea to happen! ツ

 

I think this is a great idea personally.

 

well, random spammers could come and make a post, lock a post, repeat x100.


I disapprove unless you can only lock a thread 2 times a day

 

That could work.Limit the thread lock to 2 times a day in a 24 hour period.

 

yea, it kinda defeats the idea of a mod.

 

I believe this would be a good idea. This would take stress off of mods and they can always change the decision if they want.
