Perhaps it would be seen to be more fair if the originator's wishes were never be a factor or they were always to be a factor?

I do not seem to be able to even choose the title of the threads I orignate, without another title being imposed without my knowledge or permission - where the wishes of some originators are able to prevent all other posters from continuing their discussion by getting the thread closed.

It is just another area on our forum now, where personally motivated actions can be seen to be undertaken under this cover and where there is no protection from accusations that it has.

Perhaps it would be better all contributions remained as posted?
