Lock your own thread and delete comments?

Since staff can obviously do this.
I think we need this. We can do it on our profiles, why not on our own threads?

Some people make threads about something and after a few days it's almost like a cyber-riot.
I think general members of the MeepCraft forum should have the option to lock their thread (this could be an alternative to deleting).
Locking a thread means that nobody but staff can reply to it. Other members, however, will be able to 'like' posts, but not reply.

Members can lock their thread ONLY IF:
*They created that thread
*If they feel the posts after a while aren't relevant or it's turned into an irrelevant conversation
*If they don't want any replies to it (eg. like a small note)

You cannot lock a thread if:
*It's an Application of some sort
*It's a player report
*It's a ban appeal
*It's a suggestion (unless you just want staff to accept/deny and nobody else commenting)
You cannot delete comments on a staff application, etc. (Forgot to type this in)

Deleting Comments:
You can only delete comments if you're the creator of the thread.
This is similar to report but I find it's useless. If you're the creator of the thread, you can delete a persons' comment, making that nobody else but moderators can see that persons comment.
Moderators can also moderate comments that have been deleted from threads, so basically if a player is deleting peoples comments just for the sake of it, or without any reason, they can be sanctioned. This also prevents further conflict.

 

Not sure why this is needed in any way. -1.

 

+1 for lock, -1 for delete. People would just censor people saying things that they dont like.

 

I like the locking part, but deleting comments, -1. People would just delete the -1's on their app. so basically:

 

+1 for lock and deleting comments on non-essential threads(no deleting on suggestions, applications, ban reqs, ban appeals.)

 

Read the title post
I forgot to add 'cannot delete posts' in Suggestions/Apps, my bad

 

+1 for lock. -1 for delete.

 

Please stop quoting and spamming the same thing.
I think we get the +1 for lock, -1 for delete

 

Perhaps +1 on the locking threads.

-1 on deleting because spiteful people will begin deleting posts to remove likes, then people come crying to us and it's an entire mess. It's just not worth the work it'd cause.

 

Agreed.

It could also reduce necro.
