    New Feature: Suicide Threads!!!!!

    Greetings All:

    Well, after WEEKS of work, they're finally here!

    !!!!!!!Threads that kill themselves!!!!!!!!

    I have a TON of things in place to prevent abuse, but I'm sure the system will need some tweaking in the coming days.

    Take a look at our first thread to kill itself:

    One thing I think would be good, is possibly blocking of antipoint assignments to the thread when its decided that a bullet is all that will save it....

    I know that I often go huh? when I get antipoints, positive or negative, for thread which have long ago passed into the world beyond..... and I've seen, more than once, people assigning neg points to posts, just because the thread is already in the red.... I think this has increased with the 'balance' that was implemented....

    Besides, we've all made some threads that we've regretted, and if the thread commits suicide, that's probably punishment enough, considering the negs it takes to get it to commit suicide....

    Oh, and JP.. I like the little image of the dude hanging himself....

    Greetings All:

    RiOtEr: Threads are now marked as suicidal once they've closed themselves.

    Matty: You can no longer assign AntiPoints to posts that are in threads that have been closed.

    Great ideas, thanks guys!

    Good job JP... Some nice new features. I think now everyone will see why balancing (one of the many required checks for this auto thread close) was neccecary.
