What's VTP?
Moderators can do it pretty quickly, but I see little reason to not be able to do it yourself, for your own threads, obviously.
Also, why is deleting threads, posts and accounts not a thing, except when they are inappropriate? I get that having content on here is important, but come on, that should be a basic privallege.

i'd like to be able to delete threads, lock my own threads and actually have other people's threads deleted. For example, f it's a rude and hateful thread, it should just be deleted. i don't wanna keep seeing it, ya dig?
anyway, i rarely ever see accounts actually deleted by the mods.

I think the reason for this is because they want to have records of everything that was said.. At least that's what it sounded like when it was explained to me when I asked why you couldn't delete VM's on your profile. I'm guessing that's the same reason for why we can't delete our posts on forum threads. :/
Also if something happens in your thread, an argument/scam/etc, it stops people from deleting it and mods can access it (as easily as they should be able to)
Not speaking for the entire staff here, but at least in my view, I don't agree with self-locking (outside of trade) because it essentially says that the OP of a thread somehow "owns" the thread. I don't think as a thread creator you should have the ability to decide you want to shutdown a discussion that many users may be partaking in just because you may not like the discussion anymore. Discussion threads are for the entire community, not just for the creator. Whether a thread has gotten out of hand and needs to be shutdown is for the moderators to determine.
This is what the report button is for.
Also you can delete your VM's, and if you want to delete something that you've posted, you can just edit out whatever you said at any time.
