Is there a way to make an already existing thread in Digital Goods to "self-moderated"

I know you are able to do so when you make a new thread there (additional options), but my current thread has over 500 posts that I don't want to lose, it does not give me the option when I edit it.

Thank you,
Dabangg

Note: This is due to people spamming my thread every week

I found this post from 2013, wondering if it is now possible with the forum upgrade?

You can't self-moderate a topic after you create it but I think Admins manually can make your topic self-moderated. If they can, you will need to give them a solid reason to do so.

No. It wouldn't be fair or right to self-mod a thread after you've created it. Just lock the thread and create a new one if you wish to self mod.

Yes I agree with you.
It wont be fair at all, but this forum is not always the fairest place anyhow.
Have the mods turned unmodded threads into modded threads in the past that you know of?
Just wondering

I'm curious. we know that topic can't be converted to self-moderated or vice versa, but what will happen if you merge a new self-moderated thread with an old normal thread?

merging threads?  Is that a feature available publicly or would you have to contact theymos? (I'm guessing the latter)

Yes, only admins can merge threads.

No. It's an issue of fairness, not a technical limitation.

I can manually make threads self-moderated (only I can do this), but I only do this if the thread is extremely long/entrenched and the OP is trustworthy, since you are not allowed to delete any posts made before the topic became self-moderated.

When merging, you merge from a topic into another topic. You don't add two topics and get a new topic. So it'll be whatever the destination topic is. When splitting, the new topic is not self-moderated. If you move a topic to a section where topics cannot be self-moderated, it loses its self-moderated status for as long as it is in such a section.
