An idea.

Why not offer that ability to the thread starter?

Make it so that if they lock it; it stays locked.

This might cut down on some minor mod requests and if a flamefest hijacking occurs the owner of the thread can decide to kill it.....

We don't have the authority or the ability to change how Jolt's forums work. This isn't going to happen.

No, you didn't, I'm just pointing out that people whine everyday to have threads locked - already - for the very reason I pointed out. This would be abused even more so than it already is exploited.

I do see your point.

Like I said it was only an idea.....
