After recent events of flaming posts, how about closing them b4 they get too out of hand and also give the poster the ability to close their own threads instead of just being able to delete their posts.

Tell me about it. There is only summeh and myself who are moderators. Unfortunately we are not available to moderate 24 – seven. When a topic is spotted then the necessary action is taken. I have wanted to lock several topics but I decided to let them run whilst monitoring the situation and decide once people have calmed down.

Williamsclio is a lot more open and smaller than other forums… and I believe that in most cases the users themselves without the topics being locked can sort out problems. To be honest the forum use to self moderate…. but steps will be taken to avoid the repeat of the recent spout of online slang’ing matches…

Up until last week I have only ever had to lock one topic since September 2004. So its only recently that a problem has arisen.
