So on topics that YOU create, if you find that they have issues you can delete or lock them, for example;

Delete) you post a topic about a news article about the Wii U, but find out that someone already posted it Minutes ago and didn't see. Now you can delete it.

Lock) if things go off topic on one that you created and people are beginning to argue, you can lock your topic yourself to avoid more conflict.

So? Whatcha think?

I like the functionality!

Yeah, I think you should have some control over your own topics. Good ideas!

[Tricky Sonic]

I don't see an issue, only downside I can see is if someone is immature and they don't like What's being posted and we get good threads deleted and locked from it.

No.
Deleting and locking are moderator privileges and shouldn't be shared with members.
Just report your threads.

This idea should be a given to all members on the site. Like you said, if you posted a topic and then see that one is already posted, you can quickly delete it before some rude person starts yelling at you for making a topic that has already been made. Great idea!

So report your thread and ask the people chosen to have those abilities to do it for you.
How hard is it to ask someone to do it when it's their job?

Too many trolls to hand out such a useless ability... it would be abused more often than it would be used for the right reasons....

But it would come in handy right now to delete this topic

[Noonabites]

I like the idea but I think this is something that can be abused. Trolls can start a topic and delete it on and off.. I can see them not risking it. This does remind me of something I've wanted for awhile however:

I would love an ignore user option in the chatbox. I know you guys don't control the coding for the chatbox and it's more than likely a third party thing, but spamming and such can get out of control on some days.

I'd rather not allow all members to delete their own threads as I can see some members locking their own threads simply because other members have disagreed with them. If you have a legitimate reason for a thread to be locked/deleted you can report it and one of us will deal it with reasonably quickly.

As for the chatbox, I don't know of any option to ignore other users. If someone is spamming, all you can do is report them and if I think they've broken the rules, they'll normally be banned from the Chat.

Try /ignore [name] in the chat.
