user can close threads, but not open

[RDX1]

i have a request, other people have problems with the users opening threads closed by a moderator or an admin, i was wondering if there was a way so users can close a thread, but not open it...

this will help with other users being off topic and the thread maker can close it if needed

Hmm...

I am not sure whether what I am thinking will work, but I shall give it a shot...

I'll post it when I can confirm it is real php, not just some crazy notion in my head...:)

If noone else has posted by then, I shall post it up...

Why would you want your users to have the power to close threads? You can get every thread in your forum locked by a troll or a spammer.

only by the forum starter, this way if the thread is getting off topic, a user can close it... stops the middle man because

user > report > mod > close

instead of user > close

any luck?

None so far...

Ive tried a few codes, but they either seem to do nothing, or come back as Parse Errors...
