[Forum Modification] Personal Moderation on Created Threads

[¥ola]

This is going to be a quick topic, though it should be longer, for lack of time.

I've recently started a few threads that are a bit more geared for older, and more mature forums members, so I usually have to use caution and make it known that jokers, spammers, and friends are not tolerated in the thread.  They usually still come in and wreck the topic either unintentionally or intentionally, doesn't really matter.  So what I'm asking for is the ability to 'moderate' threads that you create.

This would include 'muting' people so that they can read but not post in the thread, as well as the ability to delete or hide posts that are made inside the thread.  This would allow the forum to have more on-track discussions and prevent a lot of drama.

Obviously this shouldn't be abuse-able, just to keep certain people out of the thread, so I would think that as the same as PM, your moderation permissions can be taken away for however long/permanent.

Just a quick thought, anyone go ahead and discuss your feelings as well.

rather than deletion, something like youtube's "hiding" system could work a lot better, the post still exists, but it is by default not viewable immediately if the OP decides to hide it.

The only problem I would have with this is the fact that a lot of people cannot seem to take any negativity what so ever and will go about deleting any posts which "hurts their feelings"

This.

Don't give too much power to individual members. We all know how that works out.

terrible idea, you cant give most of the people on these forums power.

It's actually an awesome idea.
But you would need an admin or moderator to give you moderating privilegies for your threads, so idiots don't get to mess everything up.

A problem that could occur with this would be if someone made a thread and it backfired and they started to hide the post's of everyone who criticizes them and prevent them from posting.

Power inside of their own threads?  If you don't like it then simply choose not to post in threads made by utter handicaps and the problem is resolved.

Then you can easily create a drama topic/report them for abusing their thread privileges and they could have them revoked.

It was in the OP "Delete/hide posts"
