Close you own thread?

[EricG]

I see that "delete thread" is an option, but can we close our own thread? I'd like to be able to close a thread in "for sale", but I still want it available to read so myself and others can see the results of the sale, etc.

What'dya think?

[Scott Greczkowski]

Unfortunately closing a thread is only something admins and mods can do.

We can close them for you, however we think the place looks much better without a bunch of locks all over the place. :D

[Chris Blount]

Users can no longer delete threads and we do not wish to allow users to close threads either. This can lead to abuse.

When you sell an item, simply put "SOLD" somewhere in the thread.

Uh,oh. The classic time-travel paradox.

For a thread-starter to be able to delete his initial post is analagous to a man going back in time and killing his earlier self.

"Say, whatever happened to... ?"
"...ya know, I can't remember who we're talking about."
"...it does seem there was once a guy who...naah!"
"...wasn't he married to Susie Smith?"
"...who?"
"...couldn't have, she's never been married."
"...then, whatever happened to her kid?"
"...what kid?"

When we need to lock we lock, we did it today. We are still the same great place. :D

We are glad to have everyone here! :wave:
