Thread title consistency

Is it possible to set our community so that those who reply CANNOT change the title of the thread, i.e. only allow it to be "Re: (thread title)"?   A number of our users are requesting this, and I ...

Would either of these allow a moderator to change a thread subject? We have some very... creative members in our forum, and they can be quite colorful!

The original examples would hide it for all users. With a little freemarker, you could exclude certain roles if you wanted. For example, with the Idea #2 above, you could do something like:

 

<#if page.name?lower_case == "replypage" >
   <#assign user_has_role = false />
   <#list restadmin("/users/id/${user.id?c}/roles").roles.role as role>
      <#if role.name?? && (role.name == "Moderator" || role.name == "Administrator")>
         <#assign user_has_role = true />
      </#if>
   </#list>

   <#if user_has_role >
      <#-- do nothing -->
   <#else>
      <@liaAddScript>
      jQuery(document).ready(function() {
        jQuery('#lia-body.ReplyPage .lia-content .lia-form-subject-entry input').attr('disabled','disabled');
      }
      </@liaAddScript>
   </#if>
</#if>

 

Again, I highly recommend testing this out in your staging environment first.
