Nah, could easily be abused by attention seeking topic creators. Once a topic has run its course, it's best to let the topic die out.

Nope.

Hell no

Users can still read the posts on a locked thread, they just can't add to it or alter their posts.

It is not your thread and why you do not have moderator powers to lock or remove posts from other posters.

Inb4 yet another "let users moderate their own threads" topic.

Seeing as moderators will randomly lock threads for a ridiculous variety of reasons, give users the ability to unlock their own threads if they see fit. Obviously this would not apply to deleted threads as threads are deleted for breaking the rules, while threads are locked not necessarily for breaking the rules but because trolls derail threads or they get necro'd, even if the thread may still provide relevant information.

Surely this wouldn't introduce a conflict of interest or anything, amirite? And how oddly specific this is considering your last post that got locked.

That would give users more tools to counter Valves totalitarian moderation tact.

Moderation that atp may even be AI for all we know.

I am sorry OP, that opinion will not stand here at Mr Newells Land of Misfit Toys

Welcome to the forums, just follow the rules and such things don't happen.

Try it some time.

I'm not, as near much as i used to be. What's the sense? There's nothing i or the OP can do, that our political and legal leaders may already be doing.

Well Leo, i'm not the one who got more than a million signatures on that "Save our Games" movement.

I'm not the one who got Rubio to start taking action against foreigners policing us on these social media boards.

In fact, most everything i've complained about here, is being adhered too by others. And so there's nothing left for me to do but feed on the popcorn.

And despite that, you still have one of the biggest followings on this forum! It's quite impressive how familiar people are with you despite your relatively low post count compared to the rest of the regulars on this forum. The same applies to me, really, as I have less than a thousand posts and yet people still follow me around to every thread I make...

I guess it goes to show how having a differing opinion instantly makes everyone remember you and despise you.
