we should be able to lock or move your own thread, you used to be able to do this, but the option got taken away. ---

I put a post in BST because I’m looking for a white Unleashed with a paper cap, and I have no issue locking it. I haven’t tried to move anything. I don’t see me being anything special. ---

You couldn’t do that in on the General YoYo Board now, for example. It would really help there be less clutter. ---

there a few people in the not so long ago past that took advantage of these rules. they would post something in the wrong section and we would move it to the correct location. then they would move it back. You can thank them for you not having these amenities. ---

If a mod moves a thread it stays there. ---

I think the reason it got taken away is because of abusing the privilege. Some would make make a bashing thread in the report scammers and then lock it so they didn’t have a chance to defend themselves. And if a mod moved a thread then they would move it back. Mods just got.tired of it all. Created more problems then it solved. ---

You can thank them for you not having these amenities. is there a way to make sure that those certain people are the only one’s who get this privilege taken away? and anyone else who abuses this get’s it taken away to? or is it an, “All or nothing” situation? ---

No, it’s not an individual privilege setting. ---
