Hello I had a topic/thread open on the site [Greenheart Games Forums](http://forum.greenheartgames.com/) and was suggested to post this kind of thing here as it would be more relevant and the Question from is why do regular/standard users not have access/permission to certain features that moderators have.
The sort of features that im on about is the ones in which allow the user to delete, set privacy and/or stop others from posting on that thread in which that user made.
Now I know that moderators are able to do this to their own and others but im on about the user having more control over their own topic/thread.
- The first thing in which this can improve on is moderators not having
to answer to users of these things that they want done to their own
topic/thread.
- Second thing is like I said before hand is that it gives the user more control over their own topic/thread.
If you agree with me LIKE this to get it noticed by the devs!

This has already been discussed in another thread:

OK I was not aware that others have talked about this on this forums because I have just signed up here but was redirected here to talk about what im on about.

It is a good idea and thanks for raising it here but let’s keep all the discussion in the one existing topic.
