I mean give back the right to lock our own threads.

I just wanted to lock one of mine in Chit Chat and two consecutive attempts failed, so I reported it to the mods for them to close it.

MartinLiss then emailed me asking if I really couldn't do that myself and that I should test it on a sample thread.

Well, I just posted another thread in Chit Chat, and just for the sake of testing, tried to close it. I don't have permissions or I am not logged on. Since I could post the thread, I am logged in, also the page describes honeybee as the logged in member. So the only reason I cannot close my own thread is that I don't have the right.

Can you mods please restore the right to Open/Close Thread to the members who started the threads?
