Re: Self-moderated topics - nice feature or should it get banned?
I am not against your proposal but with precedent cases, I believe the self-moderated feature will remain like it be.
Actually, it's not my proposal to ban self-moderated topics, it's a proposal from Unknown01, a deranged troll. 
Myself, I'm in favor of self-moderation, have applied this feature in some of my topics and I'm also replying to self-moderated topics frequently.
In fact, self-moderation is a nice, additional feature here on Bitcointalk and it's helpful in many occasions. Mainly to prevent spam but also for various other cases.
