[Request] allow original poster to close his own thread...

[poetryrocksalot]

Please allow posters to close their own thread. It's ridiculous! What is so harmful of us closing our own threads?

I think it is beneficial, for example:

1) OP feels harassed: closes thread

2) OP learns that there was already another, more prominent thread of the same issue: closes thread

3) OP wants too closes his upcoming software update but doesn't want to read other's post issues that he has fixed on the next version.

etc...

Why can't we close our own threads? Delete our own posts?

This thread is the perfect example where you can´t close your mistake:D

I think that Orb has several comps and as many arms as an octopus:D

Getting back to reality tho..... i agree in that we should be able to close or delete or own threads, i mean how many times (no matter how experienced you are) have you posted something after too much wine/beer then re-read a post in the morning and thought....... F@#K..... i obviously didnt read that properly or didnt grasp what was being said through the haze of ones ignorance/arrogance/confidence......:D i mean, apart from orb we are all human and make mistakes yes?;)

Give us the choice to close/delete our thread once, What harm would it do, a mod could always change the action of closing the thread if they thought it could be useful at some time?

Yeah there was this one guy who posted in the Xperia forum and all he said was: DELETED (or something along that line)

I would understand how deleting one's post would harm the fact that the conversation becomes hard to understand due to the loss of dialogue. But maybe atleast add a feature to delete double posts, or a feature to disable double post until you wait 2 days.
