I disagree with making this a rule, the main reason being that when members have done this in the past, the staff have debated whether to do anything, and when we look at the threads they create, most of them actually create discussion.
In my view, a discussion forum shouldn't require the OP to be involved in a thread they create, because the point of threads is that anyone can contribute, and discussions generally evolve out of the original topic.
Nobody is required to be involved in discussions, not even the OP.
Edit: Just to add, if a member creates several threads about the same subject in a short space of time, this is already covered by the "Spamming" rule: https://atheistforums.org/rules.php#spamming
