I kinda got a little irritated when admins marked my threads as resolved. Just because you can, does not mean you should. I would prefer a reply in a thread suggesting 'SOLVED' and allow the user to change the title or give permission for the admins to do so.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all that the admins do to try and resolve issues. I benefitted greatly from one helping me the other night. I was kind of wondering why they edited MY thread without asking ME. Once, my thread was edited as resolved and it was not. I have recently seen another thread marked as resolved without the user agreeing. Come to find out that the issue was not solved.
 
Mods, please confirm with the the users BEFORE editing a thread or ask the user if the thread has been resolved. That is just respect I think...  

 
I've attributed this to an excess of exuberance towards newfound responsibilities
 
I agree it that it can be seen as meddling in other people's affairs, something I don't appreciate myself.  I hadn't decided if I was going to bring the matter up or not, but seeing as you've now done so...
 
Marking a thread solved or answered also sort of implies that further discussion is neither warranted nor encouraged even though useful discussion often does follow resolution of the original issue.  Useless discussion can definitely also follow at times :-)
 
I'd also like this to be left up to the author of the thread.
 

Strange that somehow "its our affair" when everything written belongs to CW. 
 
We use this forum we don't own it. 

yes John, BUT it is always said that it is for the USERS and NOT an official support vehicle. IF it is for the USERS, let the USERs edit their own threads if warranted.

I'd kinda like to see the admins delete any thread that has "drama queen" written all over it.  Lotsa drama queens here who would serve the community better by toning down the hyperbole.

We could have better control ove rthe admins editing the thread titles I think. Drama queens go with the forum regardless of product... ;)

I like the new approach. By them doing that, it has kept the drama queens from ranting on and on. I for one got tired of reading the same people carrying a gripe for months in numerous posts. This way it puts an endpoint to a solved problem. Not perfect, but a lot better this way. My 2 cents. 

well, putting a SOLVED on a problem thread that wasn't SOLVED does nothing to help the community. LOCKING The dead beaten horse threads could be useful though. Those threads are NOT what my OP, and others, was about.

I'm not sure how saying a thread is solved doesn't help the forum. Unless it isn't.  I know that when I see it it does mean the problem has been solved. This won't stop others from looking into it for an answer. Nor do I understand a need to keep posting to a resolved thread.
 
To me its also a hint to the forum "that enough has been said and lets now move on". I don't see that as a problem. If you need the answer nothing prevents one from reading the thread. 
 
In the end it makes the forum a little bit more orderly. 

^^^^^
I agree that is has a few bumps in the road, still it's an improvement imo. Maybe each thread can have voting poll at the end for solved or unsolved. From what we've seen around here, most OP's who really just want to gripe, they're not going to mark a thread solved. When I see one marked solved, I read those first to maybe learn something. If it is the occasional unsolved but marked solved, then I would ask the op to repost to get the topic back on the forefront. There's really not a lot of options. We have to pick our poison so to speak.
