Thread Modding

I think that it would be a good idea to be able to mod our own threads. Basically we'd get the same actions as a normal mod would get; just in our own threads.
Anyway just an idea.

I doubt it. Too much trouble and it'd be abused.

I think someone already put out this idea, and Im sure it will never happen.

How would they abuse it if THEY created it?

I don't think this idea would fly very well. I'd go for being able to edit the title of a thread or have the power to delete your own thread, but that's about it.

Delete? Hopefully only soft delete.

Only title editing/locking should be allowed if anything. Deletion would be abused to easily.

It'd be abused way too easily. Nay.

No. Plain and simple.

Modding aspects of the thread itself could work, but allow them to edit even other people's posts and everyone would be changing their would-be enemies to "omg ima fag" and such.

good points

People were allowed to play with their threads earlier on this year, and it didn't work.

And, let's not forget that if they can lock their own thread, they can unlock it, too. Whenever they like.

Not necessarily, Sabre. Apparently, you haven't explored all of vBulletin's features yet :cool:

vBulletin is a magical thing...




...and that it should at $160 ($80 a year) a shot! :mad:

Unless you have over 2000 posts, you might as well not even try to suggest anything.

Of course, seeing as you have over 4000 posts, you really can't be a good example against my point, can you?

[quote=Vampiro]If anyone listens to me, I'd imagine it's more because they know me and have grown to (somewhat) like me. The only way that connects to my post count is the fact that I've, well, obviously posted quite a bit. Thus, they've had more opportunities to see who I am, how I work, and whether or not they should value my opinion or not.

That MUST make sense to you.


A good example for you is people like Screenname (I think he has over 1000 posts). I don't think anyone cares what he says, nor does anyone really like him. Yet, he has a large post count.

Of course, I believe your opinions are perfectly valid. However, I dont believe huge posters are in a good position to represent the underlings of this forum.

As Socrates once said, "Some people talk because they need to say something. I talk because I have something to say."

Socrates was also executed for his beliefs and ideas.

So?

Hmm. Mabey there should a blog for discussions about philosophy.

I can garuntee you there are more people here who know about philosophy than those who watch The Powerpuff Girls.

Socrates developed the method of asking somebody questions to have them discover the answers to their own called the Socratic Method. Aristotle was Greek.

Can I join the blog? *oscar*

Nah, I think it'd be a great blog, if there was enough interest. But this is getting way off topic :cool:

I think the topic here was pretty much answered.

And BTW, Socrates could have easily avoided getting executed. He just wanted to follow the law. We really could use some more people like that, couldn't we?

Socrates opted to be executed rather than begging for mercy and going into exile.

Interestingly, the guard who gave him the hemlock poison also gave him plenty of excuses why he shouldn't take it. I bet Socrates would be a good president.

Vampiro's right, but for the hell of it...

If it's not a good idea it won't fly well with the majority of the forum, no matter whose idea it is.

There goes your fun!
