Does anyone here think that the thread creator should have the right to have their thread closed? A reason being that the posts bear no reference to the OP and that the posts have descended into monotonous bickering?

We are able to do that in our local community Facebook hub.

1 Could you do that for me please as I don’t know how.

2 Would a vote make any difference anyway?

Optimally better would be a thread creator's prerogative in editing/deleting abusive and/or irrelevant trolling.

But that would be a Moderator's nightmare.

If it was done by Russ, yes he would enforce the rule.

If a person just does it the Vote will not be worth anything.

Yes I like the other idea better, I wouldn't want to be in the Moderator's shoes for sure!!!

Then again I am not a code Monkey, perhaps it could be done another way?

I do like the idea of the creator of the thread being able to have it removed though. Not just certain post(s)

I was just wondering about it being closed rather than being deleted. Could you imagine that happening in Debates? 😀

There wouldn't be much left in the Debates Forum. Good point!

I can't see just removing certain Posts by the thread creator either. That could also be a problem. As you are well aware some would do it just because they could. Then all you would see is one side of the conversation.

I don't see why a thread should be closed because the thread creator didn't like something someone said, that is ridiculous.

I don't take baths I take showers, do you enjoy soaking in your own dirt?

I really don't care if you liked my opinion or not. You see here is where the Creator of the thread could close it down.

Would you enjoy that, without getting a chance to reply? 😉......LOL.......... I think NOT!!! 😉
