Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

users locking/deleting topics

Oh this was locked by Zoey. Always hated this aspect of allowing topic owners to close their own topics. Happened once before on the old forums, Calicara threatened to delete the topic if we didn't lock it. IMO for certain discussions it stops being owned by the owner when it's posted but whatever. We'll make a new one.

there are few cases in which it legitimately makes sense for an entire topic to be "owned" by one person. most of the topic locking by users here is unnecessary and really just pointlessly ending possible discussion. i don't think the topic creator should be able to lock the topic (in the cases where it is appropriate, they should be able to request one) or delete the topic by themselves (unless the topic has no replies, in which case it is the same as just deleting the post)

Re: users locking/deleting topics

What if topics in Rooms, Crews, and Creative could be locked and deleted by the owner?

Re: users locking/deleting topics

those seem the most reasonable ones, though i would still hesitate to allow users to delete entire topics (what if a leader decides they don't like a crew, but other players who wants to continue have lots of stuff in their posts on the topic that they'd like to keep? just one example)
