Give list creators more management control on their lists

I'd really like to see the creator of lists be able to have more control over them. For example, being able to edit list items to make them the "correct" ones (which can happen with incorrect movie titles and such) and remove duplicates and suchlike.

It might also be a good idea to have the list creator be able to let go of the responsibility or hand it over to another user, should they not wish to moderate list items.

As with all things like this, there's a possibility for abuse. E.g. List creators deleting perfectly good list items just because they don't agree/don't like them or something.

    Thanks for your suggestion. Maintaining quality of the lists on Diddit is something that we care about very much. At the moment, we rely on a flagging system to clean up lists. This helps ensure that there is no user deleting things from a list for the wrong reasons (as you note could be possible.)

    The list creator, if he or she wishes to maintain quality on their list, can always flag items on the list as incorrect and I will remove them from the list. This process may chance in the future as the site grows, and as we get more feedback regarding your idea.
