Previously we had it set so nobody could reply to another person's thread in the News/Rumors area. This is because a flood of trash talking replies tends to kill the mood of that type of post for some people.

I've improved that section to now give YOU the power to close your own thread if you don't want replies! By default, replies are allowed but as soon as you post your thread you can click this button to close it and make sure nobody replies if you don't want your news post filled with insults and trash talk

If you decide you want to re-open the thread later on for any reason, you can go right back and click the button again!
