But only for the thread they create. Makes the mods job a lot easier and lets us delete our own stupid threads. Of course, the mods would have control over the thread that overrides the topic starter's control.

Instead of ghosting, make it where horrible members ( AirRaid, Wizkid, DemiAngel..etc. ) are placed on the Shit List. In which all other members are given administrative power over their post.

No abuse of power could make these member's post any worse than they already are.

That would be quickly abused.

I agree completely, I've been on boards that allow some admin powers to thread starters and it's abused for most part. ;)

Haha! :D

I wish we could try something like that.

A neo-caste system.

Of course, I'd then have to swap "Shit List" with the "Dalits"

This ability was around until 2001, and removed before 2002.

Why? Abuse.

This is the best suggestion ever posted in this forum.

And yes, the suggestion in the original post WAS abused in the past. Kanjifreak comes to mind...

The only problem with Abasuto's idea is I doubt the hack has been programed. If it has, please let us know.
