You can now lock your own topics

[Rachael]

I have enabled this permission in the default forum roles mainly to see if, and how badly, it would be abused. I think if people are responsible enough, they will only lock their own topics out of necessity, and there would be no need to worry. This would probably be especially useful in the projects forum, if you have a project that is canceled and you don't want people to bump it.

Anyway, let's see where or how this goes.

I will be watching the moderator logs, so if you want to experiment with this, do it on a topic that's old or dead. You have to be the person that started the topic, otherwise it will not appear.

(P.S. if you have "limited access" to any forum, you will not have access to this feature on those forums)

To activate this feature, you will see a "Quick Mod" tools below the post listing of the topic, it should just say "Lock Topic", and just click "Go" and it should work.

If I don't like how people use this, it will be taken away.

Useful. Thanks, SP.

I think the DRDTeam forums have a select enough membership group that this privilege will seldom be abused.
