More control over topics that you've started

[vanhalen1014]

I was thinking that you should be able to control topics that you start, for example modify other posts, delete other posts, all the options that the admins have but for YOUR topics only.

That's never going to happen.  It would create mass chaos and an unfair bias towards members who post a lot of topics.  Besides, if you don't like what someone has said within your topic, just report the post to a moderator or administrator.  We're always watching for anything suspicious or offensive.

If the person creates more than 5 topics in 1 week, they should just not allow that person to do that until another week passes.

DO NOT RUIN MY PLAN TO MASS-POST HERE!

Like Patrick said, there's no way we can have a member control their own topics. If you have a question regarding your topics, you can message Patrick or Martin or any other staff member here. The report button is pretty handy, I must say.

I disagree.  Such a thing would allow each person who starts a topic to essentially become a censor, eliminating or changing opinions he doesn't agree with.  It would turn this forum into nothing but one big flame war within days, if not hours.

Thank you!  I can only imagine the disaster such a rule would bring, and in such a short period of time.  And thank you, and all the administrators, for being vigilant!

I very strongly disagree.  What if one person has more than five very legitimate things to say in a week (not counting his contributions to threads created by others)?  Why create needless limits?  Just because someone's "overly talkative" doesn't mean he actually has nothing worthwhile to say.

Triple posts, crossed-out statements, sarcasm: this topic has gone crazy already!

I'm locking this topic now to prevent any more chaos.  I'm done dealing with this member's crazy posting antics and wild ideas as they've caused enough disruptions for all of us the past few weeks.  Thanks for your continuing support, everyone!  I deeply appreciate it.
