Thread owners should be moderators for their thread

[Morcs]

I think everyone should be able to moderate any thread they started.

As they started the thread they (not anyone else) is the only person who can decide whether their thread has gone off topic, and who they dont want participating etc...

I think its a bloody marvellous idea.

Discuss.

Well I guess you could always go and start your own website and then you could do what you want.....

Bah its not what I mean.

Im suggesting it as a positive thing, I think with the nutcases we have here on KB, it would work quite well.

As much as I think your idea has some merit, cutting down on the amount of utter shit the mods have to read everyday, I think it would be left open to a lot of abuse and people on their own little power-trips and booting people out of "their" thread.

Yeah mate I know..... However if this was to happen then KB would be full of converstions between mates that would be best done in PM's. Much like it is now. The moderators would have meeellions of complaints about "mini-moderators". Someones bound to have a heart attack!

I agree!

I can't see that turning to utter shit, she typed sarcastically!

[McJim]

Thread starters don't actually own their threads....in fact we don't even own our own posts.

[Mental Trousers]

Don't know of a mod that will do that so the topic is irrelevant. Sorry.

Thread starters don't actually own their threads....in fact we don't even own our own posts.

However, McJim is technically correct.

[ManDownUnder]

Na mate - too many small minds in here that can't handle objections, or the uncomfortable truth.

3rd party moderating is heaps better (no - I'm serious)

[Swoop]

Or the thread starter is no longer here.
Just look at SARGE's thread on "What makes a man".
The utter fucking dribble that has taken over that thread...

[Usarka]

Bahaha, start a conversation at the pub. The person who starts the conversation tells people what they can and can't say.....

Sod that I'll go and get pissed at the bar and chat up the serving wench.

You'll start a new thread, in other words, which is why I think this is a bad idea.

Sounds like fun?

Then all you do if someone is unfairly abused, they send a support ticket to the mods to investigate.

So there ends up being less work for the mods, more of the Old Skool KB.

1. Familiarise yourself with the site's rules.

2. Think carefully before posting anything at all in a public forum e.g. *I wonder what's the worst thing that could happen...*

3. Try to avoid taking offense at what people may post in reply.

4. HTFU.

5. Get over it.

6. Hmmm. Beer...
