The ability to allow thread creators...

Jan 11, 2005 05:12 The ability to allow thread creators...
My Feature Request is quite simple. The ability to allow thread creators to lock threads they created.

At first I thought this might be abused, but on second thought, I doubt it. It seems that if a thread creator requests their thread lock a mod seems to do it. Why not allow them to lock it themselves?

It would/will be abused. As you have already stated, "It seems that if a thread creator requests their thread lock a mod seems to do it". If someone *really* has a BURNING desire to have their thread locked, they can simply ask a mod to do so, and it will (most likely) be done within at the most a few hours. We already have a system that works, you said so yourself! There is absolutely NO need to change it.

seems like a reasonable request, and it does make logical sense. i doubt anything will be acted on, unless lrl uses his magical powers of influence on someone important, as all my seemingly logical requests have simply gathered dust. but im interested in seeing if anything happens, and if we are in the mood to be updating the forums, perhaps avatars would be nice too

*ps: you can already put images in your message. you can have an "avatar" if you want, by putting the same image in every message, or in your signature. but that is old school lame style. having an actual place for an avatar, on the left or right side underneith that persons name, like pretty much all other forums have, would make everything neater and make forums more interesting.

if you want to know what its like to have avatars, check out www.nexgear.com which is just another forum site i have used, which has a very pretty layout

Or Elvis could simply increase the number of mods to include both you and myself so there are more mods to lock threads as requested.

i think if he wanted you homos to be mods.. it would have already been done.. but see as you as both hated by half the VETS ... but loved by the noobs.. i cant see this being done..

u just want to be somewhat WINBOLO powerful... you would abuse power.. like you both already do with irc.. Winbolo is too personal.. or atleast some people take it that way... its a fucking game.. and yes people tell eachother off.. but some people use their own pwersonal feelings more then whats really better for this community here.. if FI had mod status on the forums.. that would be like ... hmm... letting a pedophile be a police officer?

yup... would be a sad day for all.

Yep yep, you're right DZ. We are such power hungry guys that we force everyone to send us naked pictures just to get on IRC! Why, if we were mods on this board, we might even force people to send us naked silly pictures to us in order to post! The horrors!!

As for your "half the vets hate you and LRL" - I'll trust you blindly on that figure because you have such a widely known reputation for being extremely accurate and completely unbias. All I can say is I'm sad that I'm not as widely loved as you are DZ - god knows every newbie and vet loves and respect you so much they even dream of you! Hell, I used to dream of how great and loved you were and how I wanted to be just like lovable hero that you are.

hmm i know the majority of people dont like me.. and i like it that way.. what do i need anyone here for that matter to like me for? do i care? do i want people to like me? do i need people to like me? not at all because i dont care. atleast i can admit to the fact that they dont like me..

that is just another step up to manhood.. admitting that your wrong..

maybe that is why your replys to me about you being a hardcore jerker are jsut.. " what ever you say.. "


u cant admit your wrong.. and the truth really hurts..

and maybe thats why u are such a narrow minded mommies boy.. u think you are the ladies love of ircers (lmao) and think that everyone likes you, and that you're a mr perfect...

but no.. sorry to burst your bubble..

like giving a pedophile a police officer job.. i think that suits you perfectly... even more perfectly then the bib you're wearing right now while mommy feeds you alphaghetti. .. dont forget to burp :/

becuase you and lrl are around alot right? .... hell you hardly even visit this forum by your own admittance ....... I read this forum frequently enough to moderate anything that needs to be ..... which is very little since becuase of you guys we're not allowed to moderate anything ... not to mention the quality of posts has been ok in the last few weeks too .. no moderation required. (no porn or paint picts linked too ...not refering to content itself.)

heh, ren and min you guys are so wrong. I should be a mod purely for one reason: my sexyness.

"I'm too sexy for your eyes, i'm too sexy for my shirt"

Personally I believe that Ren is the only person here qualified to moderate these forums. Everyone should give up their moderator accounts so that he can run these forums.
Jan 12, 2005 04:04
YES!!! AAAAAND, he should also run ALL the WinBolo channels!
