Lock my own thread.

[CommonZebra]

I think it would be very helpful for the members and the mod's if we could lock our own thread if we know it was a foolish mistake and we could lock it ourselves.

Or just delete it.

Just a suggestion

I wish we could delete it and lock it, it's silly having a record of our mistakes permentatly for everyone to see.

Yeah I guess Delete would be better you can completely get rid of it then. instead of having it linger.

That would let certain 'members', in a way, get away with certain things - both locking and deleting threads are a Moderator's choice for a reason.

And there's something else - back in TO, things like infractions/warnings couldn't be removed (from what I heard) if the post which earned the point was deleted - that means that members could be stuck with warning points, if the system works like in TO, if someone decides to delete a thread where they got a warning.

I would risk saying it would increase the mods' workload to give members that much control over things.

More that it would have the massive potential for either abuse or mistaken use, leading to messes.

Trust me, the staff is more than happy to lock/retitle/etc anything you want.

I know, but us having the ability to delete/lock our OWN threads reduces work and stress for you mods.

The work and stress caused by a single abuse of this is more than worth the 30s it takes to handle a simple lock report. Thanks for the intent though!

*Wonders if this thread will get locked*
Also - It may be a bad idea because if a Mod Locks your thread and you unlock it, it's sorta like. Uh.

Well maybe the mod has more power, as in you cant unlock it, but if you lock it, you can unlock it at will

At that point, we are talking about a custom plugin or backend coding.

Which all seems more trouble than its worth....

I think this is one of the cases where looking only at the pros makes it seem like an awesome idea, but if you look at the whole picture, then it's clear that it's a "not broken, don't fix it" scenario.

Had to deal with a particularly good reason for people to not have the ability to lock their threads once. It's really not worth it to let random people control their threads that much.

Can this thread be locked plz. ( not a joke )

As you wish.

You can always delete your own posts, and edit the OP of your threads and remove the content.
