Nah I see Richies point it was a good example for the record but yeah it's really used but for the wrong reasons - oh I'ma close this thread now coz Richies being nasty innit. That's all it's used for
They are the same as in the sense the both are ******ed to give out to VIP users. Its ok I get the point habbox forum staff never make mistakes.Quote:

So the point of having this feature is to just close your thread if asking a question and it gets answered? Sounds reasonable, though I remember Professor-Alex closing his threads for cooling off periods (or maybe it was Immenseman?) and it seemed okay, provided it's done within reason it should be fine, no-one was particularly annoyed with the only example I can think of. It just gives moderators one less thing to worry about :P
My only issues with this is when VIPs use their ability to their advantage in an argument.

Does it follow the same scenario as Oli posted? Where people are closing and opening their threads to their advantage in arguments?
Hmmm, perhaps only allowing VIPs to close their threads would be a better idea? It will stop them self-moderating. The only issue then would be to tackle the whole closing for the sake of advantage issue.
You are only aloud to close your threads atm, you are not aloud to re-open threads.Quote:
