Because I neither want to support or oppose since there isn't any decent candidates for forum moderator, from what I saw. Anyone with a lot of forum activity tends to be content editors (hence why the forum mods are mostly all just rollback users as well), because the majority of forum-only users tend to ignore the forum policy on a regular basis (but a few content based editors do so as well).

If you feel there are users who should be forum mod, just ask them and if they approve, contact a sysop to make the change. Unlike forum operator, a forum mod doesn't have a lot of abusable user rights (they are only able to close, move and hide threads/posts, as well as edit them), as mentioned by UltimateSupreme.

A thread like this is only really necessary for forum operators, because they gain the ability to block users, completely delete a thread (although it's not true deletion, but it becomes unviewable to all but forum ops and sysops) and highlight a thread to be notified to all via the bell icon. Forum mods don't have any rights that can't be undone by someone else anyway.
