How do I lock/close my threads or does a admin have to do it? If I can can you tell me how please?
 
Its a Premium Only feature.
 
^ What he said. You can send a message to a mod and ask them if s/he can close it.
With a cherry on top, of course ;)

Ok thanks. What are the best admins to ask then?
 
Actually, unless there's a specific need to close your thread (you'd like to stop an argument, etc.), it's best to just leave it open. :)

Why?
 
Why not? :p

It just isn't the best use of your or the moderator's time, as there is no real need or benefit to close a topic just because the discussion is "over".

Ok then.
 
Instead of contacting a moderator, why not self-report your thread? :)
 
That contacts every moderator and unless the AUP has been broken or the discussion turned sour it's not really what the report button is for. Just look for a Mod in the current online user list, buy premium and close it yourself or as Jordan said just leave it open.

Then couldn't I get in trouble because the form needed to be reported?

Because abuse of the reporting system will get you an infraction or at least a warning if I am not mistaken.

What could the infractions be?

Get so many infractions and you get a ban.


@Mods, would it be better to report the thread or message a mod, because I know some mods can only moderate certain places and I'd imagine Famine and Jordan would get most of the messages if you asked someone to PM a random mod.
 
^ If something needs to be reported (ie - an AUP violation), use the report button, don't PM a Moderator just because they are online. For all you know, he just went offline and won't see the PM for 3 days.

However, as Jordan said, if you simply want a thread closed for no apparent reason, that's not likely to happen. Also, Greyfox is correct - abuse of the Report button will result in a warning/infraction.

Regarding the "some mods can only moderate certain places" bit, the differences can be found in the FAQ.
