Forum: Possible to create thread writable by me only?

Post by de » Mon Jan 30, 2006 11:07 pm

Is it possible to create a thread which only me can write to? (not being a moderator)
Like Announcement vs. Discussion thread.

What exactly were you hoping to do?

That came to my mind when seeing that the posts in my "Extended Menu" thread are constantly increasing...
So I thought to have the questions/comments separate from my "announcements"/updates would be more "userfriendly".
But maybe I am thinking too much :-)

I see what you are trying to do... :)

It is possible, but a special forum would have to be created just for this though... the other thing you could do, is become a moderator of the forum that 'your' thread is in, lock thread.. and only you will be able to reply ;)

Just a separate forum for my addon... and not for other addons as well may not be appropriate... even though I think it rocks it may not be that special ;-)
(Being a forum moderator would probably lead to wrong expectation... being a "Hero" is already enough weight to carry;)

I just thought to check whether there is an easy way (like you creating such thread while I'd still be able to post)...
But if there is once a forum per addon let me know. - that may actually be a nice idea I think.

I wonder how many that would be, almost 700 projects on the Forge now, plus those who are not..? :)

Ok, I did not mean there has to be a thread just because the project exist... but then it would probably not be such a big problem if it is kind of automated I think... maybe something connected to the forge (but without having to register separately and better than the one on the good ol' mamboforge).
