Closing has promise though. As I said, with a certain number of posts (Giving the post count a use...) one could be able to close there own threads, given they arn't "tagged" by the moderators. "Tagged" meaning they are not mature enough to handle such power and responsiblity and have had the ability taken away via a check in tehre profile that only moderators would see.
I think you're a reasonable guy Link. So maybe I should reword then add what I've been trying to say because I disagree with you on this closing threads issue.
Once we allow everyone the ability to close their threads, we have to start keeping track of anyone who doesn't do it responsibly. And there could be too great a number of people who might close a thread just because they don't like the way the argument is going. Like if someone is disagreeing with them too much and they wish to stop all the contrary opinions because they don't like how it makes them look.
I'm not saying I think this would really happen much, but at the same time, nor does it happen much where people want to close their own threads. People wanting their own threads closed is seldom enough that the mods alone can handle those requests just fine.
In other words, there really is no issue here that I see. This is just kind of another example of how the larger overall solution is to control the quality of our content and try posting more meaningful threads and posts. The latter especially.
I was kind of hoping with the increase of Diablo news and rumors lately, these kinds of issues wouldn't be as big of a deal. Cause they're the kinds of issues people focus on when there's little else to talk about.
In all it's a stupid idea. The moderators are doing fine work, and giving you the option of closing threads would mean more work for them.
i didnt say that they were doing bad
i said that the thread starter should hold some powers over his thread, like youtube does

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

Love the companion cube by the way.

Did I accuse you of saying they were doing bad? In fact I said they were doing fine work... and where does YouTube come in? Do they even have forums?

I should've listened to Carloseus earlier when he said the issue was resolved.
