Topic owner = topic moderator

Discourse is, first and foremost, a discussion software.

Being the OP, just means that you started a discussion. After people read and start replying, you don’t own the discussion anymore than every other participant.

From this angle, it makes no sense allowing the OP to moderate a topic.

If you need a system where you have complete control over the interaction on your content, you may want to use a Blog or a microblog software.
