Do you think that it is possible to put up a game development topic that let's players have editing rights on topics? I do!

I know some things about this are iffy, so I will try my best to put in as much detail as possible.

A couple situations (feel free to comment more!):
-Unable to sustain group post, and someone in the group is able to take over
-Clan admins having the ability to edit clan threads would be awesome as well, if the owner is gone on a hiatus, has a frozen account, etc. (Not the designated clan thread, that one already has the function c: Additional clan threads for RPs/etc)
-Any collaboration threads for sales, RP, giveaways, etc.

The Wind up and the Pitch
So, you have a thread and next to "Delete Post" it states, "Add Editor" or "Transfer Edit Rights".. most likely you would be able to click it, and a box shows up to add a player ID, depending on which action you take.
A good idea would be to maybe add in, "You are going to give editing rights to [name (#ID)]. Are you sure?" pop-up before agreeing to add the player.

When adding a player (owner access only!):
Then, they would get a message saying "You have now been given access to edit ["This Thread"], made by ["Player!"].

When removing a player (owner access only!):
They would get a message saying, "Your editing privileges have been removed on ["This Thread"]-sorry!"

In case of privacy issues:
Player must type in a small digit pass code given from the owner of the topic to be able to edit, possibly? In which case the owner can add a passcode once the "Add Editor" block shows up. This would be most likely optional, depending on the thread and the players privacy.

Secondary Editing
A player who has been given the ability to edit a topic will NOT have the ability to remove other players from editing. Only the owner of the thread will be allowed to conduct this. The secondary editors' only ability to manipulate the thread is by changing the context of the topic. If the rights are transferred, then that user is seen as the owner of the thread.

My reasons for this:
1) Clan admins have ability to edit clan threads, and
2) Player/Group projects
3) Side Accounts to edit threads (suggested by Umbreon)
4) A new thread manager for an RP, so they have access

Special thanks to Nori #71021 for making this for me! <3

I would appreciate any feedback whatsoever, and PLEASE give me an understanding reason why you don't support this idea. I've put quite some time into this!

Also check out this other thread! Another suggestion!

Thank you for listening, and have a great day. :)

But perhaps a safety check first? Maybe another player hacked the account and tried to give themselves access to the thread

Just filling out your security questions, like if you have to change your password
