No, I'm against it because it's a really bad idea. Giving the topic starter the ability to censor out posts he doesn't like? Bad, bad idea. And I really shouldn't have to explain why it's a bad idea because it's so glaringly obvious. And thinking it would render the rating system useless is, well, preposterous.

the only bad thing I see about it is it gives the thread starter power that could be abused..
with power comes responsability
but as far as i can tell this forum does just as well with no moderator as CRSX.com which has thread moderators, regional moderators, administrators up the wazoo
good job Cliff

So I started the thread. Look over it with an objective view. When did the conversation take a nasty turn? When did people start to get at loggerheads? Analyse it and you will see. There a certain players who automatically turn a thread into confrontation and negativity. Ratings have been applied. Arn

You're also forgetting the worst part of someone being able to kill anyone else disagreeing with them in their thread; disinformation. Lets just say that someone posts some information that is totally incorrect but he/she believes it is correct. Everyone that comes in trying to correct this person can now have their post deleted so that wrong information is now passed onto others who are trying to learn. VERY bad idea IMHO.
BTW for you dictionary buffs:
Bait;
"2. to torment or harass, esp. by verbal attacks." Now if you were to put the word master on front of that what do you have? Certainly nothing vulger. What you have is someone who's a 'master' at trashing someone with verbal attacks.
Now a mastURbater is what you're confusing it with and that's something completely different. I agree with Grid in that it's nothing vulger either. In fact, it's an activity that i practice all the time.

why is it that a couple people in the last couple years find archies first name funny? cletus is a fine first name, ofcourse im from west virginia, its probably alittle more common here than in chicago, but still, a names a name, and if you really wanna know why archie throws in name calling, its because he is still a kid at heart, i mean, what kinda sane grown-up would put a 400HP SBC in a fiero? i dont know of any..... BTW this is a public forum basically, when things get outta hand cliff steps in, but for the most part, everything is open for discussion. sometimes things arent so PG13..... matthew

You're right of course but there are many who don't think about the misinformation part of having a thread poster control his own thread so that's why i used your comment to explain it. I also used your comment because if i had used another persons i might have been drug into the flame war he/they are having and i didn't want that so i figured it was safer to use your comment to explain that part of why it's a bad idea. No disrespect was intended.
