Let the thread creators manage the thread?

[Meti]

Hey,
I just got up this idea in my head..
Why wont you let the thread creators manage their threads? Like removing texts that's filtered, banning someone from just THAT thread, not banned from HxF. And some other things?

What do you think about it?

[H0BJ0B]

Abuse in my opinion.

[Matt.]

I don't think that would be a good idea. I think a lot of people would just abuse it and edit users post just cause they may not like what they said.

I think they should be able to close thier own thread though.

It's not possible to manage a thread.

Closing threads is a VIP feature.

Can't you comprimise on the matter instead of just turning them down? :S lol

[jesus]

There's nothing wrong with how it's done now and if it was available, it would just get abused as mentioned above.

[--ss--]

Remember what happened with VIP Sub forums? Well this will lead to the same abuse but at a far far higher risk and level.

There is nothing to compromise with.

There would be a lot of abuse and loads more problems.

It's just not possible anyway, vBulletin doesn't have this kind of thing.

[shizzle]

Nah, people would abuse this alot.

[Paulio]

This wouln't work. I for one would remove text from posts made by people I don't like no matter if it was a good post or bad. It would get abused so much :P

[Catzsy]

In VB it would be impossible to do. Basically all the members would be mods and the VIP would have to go up to £50.00 a month to cover all the staff doing it.:P

Seriously though this idea sounds okay on the surface but the implications and consequences have not been thought out.

If members would like to mod their own forums then if you are a VIP member you can have a sub-forum and be a mod of that.

There is nothing to compromise on ;) Simply closing threads, which is already a VIP feature.




Even if it were possible to allow members to manage their own threads, banning from a thread would never be allowed, it would be too easy to simply ban those who's opinions they didn't want.

It is actually, but there's no safe way of doing it yet.
