Unless I am missing an obvious button somewhere, why does the temp not allow thread starters being able to close a thread?
Is there a way to 'request' a close?

There's a "Set Thread Status:" option when you go to edit your thread post (usually the very first post you made in the thread, not to any reply to your thread). If you uncheck "open" then I think that effectively closes the thread. Moderators/Admins can still reply of coarse, but in most cases that means the thread is closed.
Report it for closure, someone will do it when they see it.
You're forgetting reporters can reply too.

At least that is how it seems to work for me when editing my own threads (mostly threads in the trade section), but I think the forum allows you to do this to your own threads in any section of the forum.
Screenshots? I don't see this checkbox even in advanced settings.
I'm on DarkTEMP though I doubt that matters.
Well for me this shows up when going to edit the first post of my threads:
You only see this if you edit the very first post. The post that created the thread basically and obviously this only shows up on threads you have created. Just have that checkbox unchecked like shown above and then it's the equivalent of closing your thread.
