I'm too low of a rank to be able to close or move the topic by myself :/ Guess I gotta be a bit more active.
You can lock this topic, if you have done with your questions

I like how you asked the OP to lock the topic by quoting the reason why he can't lock it.
I believe the rank doesn't matter and he can lock his own thread as a newbie.
IIRC, there is a "lock topic" button somewhere at the bottom left corner if you are the thread creator.
