Suggestion for thread starters....

I think that the person who starts a thread should have the ability to delete posts within that thread. There are many instances where someone starts a thread, and someone being funny comments or someone flames someone and kills it. Is there a chance this could be a reality?

Sorry, there's no way we're giving members the ability to delete other member's posts. Even moderators and admins hesitate doing that. Just way too easy to abuse.

What's better is to try and use the Report this post feature and/or to email the three admins (Randy, X or me) who have forum wide abilities as soon as you see a problem starting.

Except twikoff's of course. I'll see if we can allow just his to be deleted by everybody.
