Forum idea - Locking our own threads

(1/3) > >>

Chief149:
ok so here is an idea.

Allow the op of a thread to lock the thread. I think a lot of forums have a feature to allow users to lock their own topic, but idk. It would be a nice feature, and I don't see any harm in it.

This would seem ok, but I've thought of one problem.

If a topic was locked by a staff member for any reason the owner of the topic could unlock it if they wanted to carry it on.

Eg. Ban appeal- decision made to keep player banned so topic locked, they unlock it to carry on arguing.
     Forum game gets out of hand and offensive/too much arguing so topic is locked. Owner unlocks to keep the argument.


This could be sorted by a Topic locked by a higher rank cannot be unlocked but im not sure of that would be possible :P

Anyway I think this could happen :D

FNVcourierjon(SigilStone):
I strongly support this but I don't think people would unlock it again to continue arguing because they are supposed to listen to the staff if they don't want to get banned.

Xeadin:
Unfortunately there will be those few players that will unlock their own threads to continue arguing and throwing bombshells at us. That is their own fault for doing so, but it is fine how it is set up as is. We would rather keep a friendly environment instead of people unlocking locked threads to carry on a resolved discussion.

Chief149:
Well no, you simply make it so users can lock their own threads, but not unlock them. So if I locked this thread then that would be it. I cannot unlock it. A mod+ could unlock it, but that would be the extent of it.
