And there is nothing hazardous at all about the rollback right, the only reason it's not default is cause it encourages reverts without comment, can mask what is really going to be reverted to the person using it, and one accidental or curious click can get the user in trouble so it is something advanced enough you wouldn't want people who don't know what it is to have. I believe User:X29 got his rollback right revoked for abusing it and using it as a way to not write comments on anything he reverted. Now what happens if someone is good enough to get close / highlight / delete rights and gets the rollback flag that they never asked for and start abusing that?

I don't see the value in adding more people to the rollback group if they only need forum moderator permissions, hence I suggested making a new usergroup which grants those rights without interfering in the mainspace.
