Honestly, here's the way I see it.

The sysops already have the power to do everything suggested here. Yes, we may not always be able to respond the exact milisecond something goes down, but that's true for anything, anywhere. There is no wiki that doesn't have that problem.

That being said, while the forums have certainly been active, there isn't so much activity that we can't handle it. There's no need for a new user group and, frankly, there isn't any need for the rollbacks to have it either.

So here's my suggestion;
 * 1) Get rid of the flag that allows ordinary users to delete threads.
 * 2) Let sysops handle the forum moderating.

Flags are not a political thing. Its not about power distribution or separation of powers. They're things of necessity and there just isn't a huge need when we have plenty of sysops that already have the necessary capabilities to deal with the problem at hand. Yes, there may be sysops who don't use the forums. That's fine for them. But that doesn't mean they won't put their foot down when things get out of hand.

For now, I think that's the best route to take.
