Person who starts thread moderates?
Apr 22^nd, 2012 at 3:00pm

Hi FD,
Is it possible to give the person who starts a thread
moderator rights - only on that thread?

That way people who don't listen to warnings can be stopped
from posting just on that thread?

Maybe it's not a feature that is in the software you're using?
If not - I wish it was.
I've had trouble with certain people invading my threads
& writing total nonsense.

Or Bobby moderating his own thread... ...lots of talk of gay sex (tips and techniques) - just without any finger pointing.

It is my thread if I start it.
By starting a thread I hope to discuss a topic properly -
that includes answers to all questions.

When a troll or flamer turns up I don't want to report it
to a moderator - I should be able to give the
offender a warning - ask for an apology -
& if I don't get that I should be able to ban them from my thread.

In this way - threads would be self moderated instead
of whinging to moderators.

Annie - you're the one who is titilated by discussion of sexual matters.

Only if the discussion involves two men finding love in a public toilet block late at night. At least we have that in common, Bobby.

Annie,
That's a lie - I've never mentioned toilet blocks - yuck.
You're becoming a flamer & a troll.

Ahhh, yes... the online circle jerk.

It happens often enough as it is and if there was a virtual Sao to pass around, it'd be as soggy as could be.
