Hi all. I just thought I should make you aware that Wikia recently rolled out an update that now eliminates all possible chances for users to moderate the forums. You will now only be able to remove threads and replies you have made: originally, users could go around removing everyone else's threads for no reason, which would be tantamount to vandalism of the forums, but the change has removed this possibility.

Our custom groups will be updated to support the changes (as I've actually lost move thread rights because of a new right [wallmove] and the ability to remove posts [wallmessageremove]) made by Wikia.

To sum it up, you can now only remove and move threads that you have posted, you no longer have the ability to remove or move other people's threads. If you need a thread moved, please contact a forum moderator or forum operator to perform the move. The same applies to replies: you only have the ability to remove your own replies.
