Web Closing threads

[AM71113363]

I've noticed that bug reports are visible only to the owner and to the staff, but not to others.

SUGGESTION:
Add a category similar to BUG_REPORT to allow user to request to close his threads.
Q:
You can ask to staff member to close your threads!!!!!!
A:
In order to close a thread I have to choose a staff member and ask him to closed it.
FOR ME ALL STAFF MEMBERS ARE THE SAME,
WHY I HAVE TO CHOOSE?!!!

NOTE:
Well, an AUTO-CLOSE for threads would be ideal(like POLL do), but since this is too much to ask, I've made the suggestion above.

You ask in staff help to close your thread and any mod can do it, there's also support and I'm sure you wouldn't be banned for asking someone to close your thread in the support sub forum either

The text "help" is kinda misleading, I consider that as an info/help for smth that a user dont understand.
Maybe a text "Staff Chat/contact" would be more appropriate.

there's also support and I'm sure you wouldn't be banned

ban is not smth that I'm worried about, but I like following the rules.

for asking someone to close your thread in the support sub forum either

Yes, but "support" is visible to all users, and is not the right place to make requests.

Or you can just reply to the thread asking it to be locked? This is an overly complicated solution to a very easy problem.

this is not a bug report. the suggestion is about adding this option to bug reports

I said:

Add a category similar to BUG_REPORT

meaning:
visible to the owner and to the the staff members.

NOTE:
I didnt say add options to bug_report category, but add a category similar to bug_reports.

If a Staff Member can confirm that I can use "HELP" for any request I have.
Then OK, I have no problems with that.

You can use staffhelp for that? Or just tag a staff member? Dedicating a subforum to this is just a waste of space.
