Add support for locked forum topics to the forum module. A locked forum topic is a forum that noone can post new comments to.
Add the ability to manually lock a forum topic (for example, to stop a flame war).
Add the ability to automatically lock forum topics that have no new comments in over a set period of time (effectively preventing the reawakening of old and abandoned topics of discussion).

Drupal already supports this, though perhaps this feature should be made more visible: just edit a forum topic, and set 'comments' to 'read only', to prevent new comments from being added.
