Bro, further on handing over power to thread creator. Having some experience in kicking/banning people from chatrooms, I'd like to add my two cents here.
First, this isn't like IRC you know where you could go and register a channel (or a channel with chanserv) and own it all to yourself. There is a big difference between a thread creator/starter and an owner. My understanding from creation of a thread is that it was done so just cos you wanted views & discussion from different people on a certain topic. This need not necessarily mean that the thread starter is actually the owner!
In my opinion, there could be an alternate way of judging a thread owner, which is by identifying maximum number of posts from a single person in that thread. It simply signifies that this person has been more active over a period of time. It's very unfair if I create a thread, go into hibernation and then come back 5 weeks later claiming to be the owner of that thread! Yes, I do agree that we need a moderator to control on posts and newly created threads. As long as that moderator acts fair its fine, but the moment he/she starts abusing his powers then I think the purpose is not served.
In such cases, I can promise you from now itself that you will find everyone trying to hog power and limelight by created n number of threads and become the owner themselves.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't pointed at you at all, these are my immediate thought upon reading your previous post.
