 * Why was the group "Forum Operators" removed?
 * Is it a case where wikia doesn't allow custom groups any more?
 * Is it possible that we can get the group reinstated?
 * Is it possible to grant the option to ban persons from the forums to some moderators without changing their flag? i.e. 2 moderators would have the ability to ban someone but they'd still be moderators.
 * Why sysops no answer requests?
 * Was there follow up with the request? i.e. DM a sysop that was already here?
 * Yes, wikia removed the groups we had.


 * I'm not sure, that could work but in my opinion it'd be easier to solve this in the wiki rather than going to wikia, it'd be simpler without going to them.


 * Due to the nature of groups, we can't just add a new group that has the option to ban. That'd probably be the best solution but as far as I know it can't be done.


 * I don't know why the sysops haven't responded to my request.

@Needle, exactly. But since we can't make the custom group, I threw the option of Discussion Mod promotion out there. It's one of the things we can do.

@Rachin, I agree. I don't mind not being able to block. But the ones who can block need to be more active, or we need to promote someone who will be more active with this. Basically, yeah I agree.
