Thread Locking
I'd like to see the server "lock" threads for 'n' minutes when someone replies so they can place their post in the logical position it should be. If a post is not made within 'n' minutes, the thread is released and someone else can post a reply.
N could be 120 seconds, sounds nice.

Beside the fact that I don't see a real advantage in such a feature, it could also be misused to lock threads for a long time.
People should learn to quote properly, IMHO.
They could implement "position" fields in the reply so that a person who clicks first, gets a reply page that includes the position for which it should be in, and anyone else clicking after will get the next position down and so forth.
No locking of the thread while preserving the logical structure.

That sounds ok to me.

Why is the position important? You could also misuse that feature. Just open two browsers, read in one, post in the other.
