Closing your own posts

[L_n_O 3]

I think we should be allowed to maybe close our own posts, for example: polls...

Take for example my "choose my tiara" poll... well, I've already chosen now, so I'd like the voting to end cuz it's a moote point

Take for another example, another member's poll on what she should eat for lunch.. Presumably, it being 10:45pm now, she's already had lunch, so voting is pointless..

Just a thought.

thx.

I know I could easily just pm a moderator, but I feel like it's a pain in the bum question b/c it's not like an urgent thing that needs to be done..

I could just do it myself and be done with it..

that's all B)

maybe there could be an option that's like an expiration date on polls.....

That's a better idea............

Honestly, I have not seen one website that permits members the option/control before and it's unlikely that it will start now...

VJ could be a trendsetter!

I like this idea as well as applying this same "expiration date" to threads that are old, especially when the OP isn't even on VJ anymore.

Expiration date i agree, deciding on someone elses thread, post, or poll to close i dont agree, maybe she was looking for dinner ideas as well.

Anyone who wants to close their thread can simply PM Ewok...pretty simple.

Not true. Lots of forum software lets a poll creator put an expiration date on voting. I don't know if it's a possibility with the software that VJ uses.

I dunno, i think allowing members have access to close there posts could cause problems.

remember, sometimes VJ can be equivilant to a daycare

Yeah, I can imagine a lot of 'I'm going to get the last word in and then close the thread so nobody else can respond!' type scenarios.... but with a poll, I can see that it might be handy to be able to set a time limit on it BEFORE you post it... although not really 'necessary', as such!

Or the mods. It really isn't a bother if you PM us, we don't mind.
