I don't recall seeing it anywhere (but my mind can be fuzzy of course), but I think it'd be great if we could have password protected threads.  There's a lot of benefits that could come from it, and of course i'm no coder by any stretch of the imagination so I don't know the time or difficulty with it, but I definitely think it's something that should be looked into.  

I don't think it should be all willy nilly since that could lead to a lot of people locking their threads and then where's the fun in that  But to bring up DL I do think that was a good idea to have a monetary way to set them up by buying '-insert Revaliir money here-' for the tokens of protection.  I think it could be a good way to bring in revenue for the site as well in assisting with server fees and whatnot.  

It's on the list. Gold is the premium currency for Revaliir that will be used to purchase tokens of protection when they are implemented.
