It's not that I don't trust them, but it just seems like an awful lot of people when very few will really need it. Personally, having an actual forum moderator flag which people can be granted to allow them to close/highlight/delete threads/posts would be safer. You say it's not an issue of trust, but then you raise concerns of comfort and safety. I sense a paradox.

If it's felt that a privilege shouldn't be left to the general populace and that "very few will really need", then limit it to sysops, of which there is ample supply. No need to make a new group just for the one right.
