Mhm Probably, but not anytime soon.

If you are using a state machine you could have code like this running at the beginning of your state executor, for example: if (!state.equals(State.Banking) && getBank().isOpen()) { getBank().close(); } But you shouldn't be worrying about that anyways (as explained by Nezz), there might be some cases when you could get stuck in an interface however, and then such design could prove to be a nice solution to your problem ^^

1. Learn to love to learn learning. 2. Learn learning. 3. Learn to love learning. 4. Learn with love. Took me 3 years to get into the whole experience. I used to blame a lot on practicals and circumstances too, please, don't play mind tricks on yourself and look for excuses to not go, look for excuses to go instead. There are tons of solutions to your problem, stop ignoring them, get yourself together. Knowledge is power, once you become an expert at acquiring it passionately then the sky become's the limit. I'm not saying you need university or college for this to happen, but most people do need its structure, as flawed as it may sometimes be or appear to be. Good luck man, don't let your guard down. PS: the college experience as seen in tons of movies is BS

You should realize that conscription (service duty) was never abolished in the Netherlands, compulsory attendance was. Just because your country is democratic doesn't mean it doesn't need protection ^^

Honestly, I wouldn't mind it. People like to rebel against stuff like this, but the thing is... everyone would benefit from those 6 months of training.

Never heard of things like this tbh, seems a bit far-fetched. Are all those cases made up ? If not, then the hide option should be removed altogether. The lock/unlock option has its own dangers and drawbacks, I still don't think it should be made too accessible. Currently you can hide a thread but not unhide it. I suppose being able to lock your own threads but not unlock them could be a way to go, but still not in favor of the whole thing tbh.

How about you tell me why you think the hiding option is more dangerous than the lock/unlock feature and we continue from there then.

I disagree (read Nezz's post a couple of posts above this one)

There's no blue book tbh

"Such moderating powers shouldn't be buyable, that's all." I'm not saying no to offering moderating privileges with a product such as sponsor. I'm saying no to certain moderating privileges. Hiding a thread doesn't have the same impact as locking one. Don't agree, cool, if you think both do have the same effect then it doesn't really matter if you only get one but not the other one, right ? (Just my opinion)

Nobody on this thread mentioned another site lol. I personally think you shouldn't be able to buy such moderating powers (expanded above), you not agreeing with that doesn't make my opinion invalid :p Also to unlock the thread you would have to go via a moderator anyway. Seriously. Hide your thread, report it, put a disclaimer in your OP, request the title to be changed, comment on it. /thread tbh

^ not too complicated either :p

No, you should not be able to unlock locked threads started by you. What if a mod closes your thread because it was inappropriate for some reason and you just decide to unlock it afterwards, because you could.

I wasn't aware sponsors could hide their threads. It's a power because it allows you to cut off conversations. But then again, hiding a thread can do that too. Just stop bumping your thread and add a CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK disclaimer to your OP. Or ask a mod to lock it for you. Also, you'd still have to ask a mod to unlock the thread for you because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to unlock your own threads anyway. So there's really not much of a point :p

Such moderating powers shouldn't be buyable, that's all. (btw, me not having sponsor has nothing to do with it, vets actually get a few moderation privileges, so I wouldn't be missing out on anything actually :p)

Nope

Derp'd. Just stick its contents in a while loop

Most teachers at my school impose word count instead of page count requirements, but will keep this in mind for the exceptions
