Basically your only argument has been "But we can't do that because then we would actually have to ban people for spam *gasp*!" I mean fucking come on. A user has certain rights to the threads they create, one of those being if they want to end a thread prematurely then let them fucking do so. It is their thread.No, the argument is we have enough staff available to negate the need for such a feature.Monitors can lock threads now too. That's 4 more people you can talk to about getting your thread locked by request.But I can just lock my thread quicker if I can do it myself. Its more efficient, your point is invalid.Send a PM to someone online, in less than a minute your thread is locked. That happened today actually. So my point has merit.But locking it myself is STILL quickerAnd as Nuka pointed out in this thread, that ability can be abused.People could spam locked threads.The current method is barely slower, and much more effective.

Just ban them, it's that simple.

And yet, look at the majority of the top posters.

QuotePeople could spam locked threads.Ban. Them.It shouldn't be a monitor's or moderator's job to lock threads on request. It should be their job to lock threads when things get out of hand. That's it.The OP of the thread ought to have some discretion to that end.
People could spam locked threads.

There's potential for it to be successfully used, and successfully abused. If someone's thread starts getting derailed, or people get angry and start assaulting each other in the thread and there's no monitors online, the person can then lock their own thread.Then there's the spam of lock threads in the Flood, like "LOL I LOCKED THIS THREAD; LOL I LOCKED ANOTHER THREAD".I don't particularly have a stance on this issue, but whatever happens happens. Wouldn't mind either way.First of all that's not harassment. If minor things like that were harassment then I'd have tons of users here banned in an instant. Anyway, Rocket's already been confronted about his behavior and I haven't seen him act immaturely towards me since. So fuck off.
