"Ability to allow members to use moderation on just topics they posted.

does this mean a user can close/lock a thread they started?  if not, is that something that someone can create/has created a mod for?

also, can moderators/admin view a list of newly closed topics?  (like the topics closed today or since last checked)  and again, can/has a mod been made for this?   maybe use/modify the 'show unread posts since last visit' to be 'show closed/locked topics since last visit'?

Yes, they can by default.  This is, of course, a permission.  You can change it as you like in Admin -> Permissions.

also, can moderators/admin view a list of newly closed topics?  (like the topics closed today or since last checked)  and again, can/has a mod been made for this?   maybe use/modify the 'show unread posts since last visit' to be 'show closed/locked topics since last visit'?

No one has ever even asked for that, specifically.  Why would it be so important to monitor locked topics?

great on the first locking topic/permission answer.  just what i need.

as for needing a way to monitor locked topics, i admit it's not the norm, but it will be needed for this project as it's an unusual use of a forum script.  i'm not a programmer, so to me it seems as simple as something like the 'show posts since last visit', but i don't know.   it would only be needed by admin/moderators, if that makes a difference. 

if anyone is available to come up with the mod, please let me know and i'll be happy to explain in detail.


ETA:  another way to do it would be to have closed/locked topics 'archived' in the admin/moderator section. 

ETA2:  or allow the user who posted the topic to close/lock it and move the topic to a forum called 'daily archive'.

Just check the MODs Board.  Or, use the Package Manager.

Or if you need help, either post, or look at the Help Available Board.  There's several offers to give help there.
