I propose a vote to close thread option underneath each post reply page. I think it'd help clean up the forums, and give people a clear general idea of when they're right or wrong. It lets the community weigh in more and also only gives the option to those who post in the thread (removed posts would also get their votes removed). I think this would be a great idea, because I'm tired of seeing people coming in the forums and whining about something in an attempt to "seek a solution." Only to end up flaming anyone that replies to their thread or gives an opinion that varies from their own. With this option we'd be able to quickly and firmly shut these people up, as well as save there's and our time. They'd immediately realize that the general population considers their views wrong, which should in turn cause them to look within (hopefully) and then find the issue that is, as we all know, caused by themselves.
I think this is a win/win solution because at the end of the day those raging posters can't exactly blame bioware for their threads being closed, they will only have their fellow players to blame, which will prevent them from truly rage quitting. The decision would also hold more weight to it, because each vote is an individuals decision and cannot be held to a particular group, such as Bioware. Yet, if they quit regardless of such a powerful suggestion, who needs someone that isn't even open to opinion, do you honestly think that's an asset to our community?
This gives those rage posters more time in game working on their crappy characters and posters trying to persuade the unshakable more time to show and teach them how to do it right, whether that be through roflstomping them or giving them some in game advise. I'd rather those whiners be figuring things out in game, where they can see things first hand.
