Development Discussion Board

I still think it should be made a core part of PHPBB.

As it is being able to merely delete and lock one's own threads seems a bit incomplete.

A post revision system to defend against abuse of topic curator, I could get behind that.

whoops, sorry about that. Clicked the wrong checkbox. :oops: Anyway, good points have been made all around. I agree that soft deletion/edit logs would make this more attractive.

However, giving this feature a test run as a mod might not be a bad idea. It would most likely go into the posting perms for forums, either under ...

Such an ability would come greatly in handy for a role-play board, for example, by letting a GM moderate his own threads. It's also a common feature on o...
