Hi

In this thread, I brought up the potential for having dedicated forum moderators. Currently, anyone with the rollback flag can perform basic moderation, such as editing anyone's posts: the only people who can close and highlight threads are sysops, and we know they may not always be around to see if a thread needs closed.

I am proposing that we add a dedicated usergroup flag called Forum Moderator. As confirmed by Wikia, we can have custom flags on the wiki, so there is no problem. The issue is this: what should be the limits of each user flag? Should anyone be allowed to move and delete threads, or should that be limited to forum moderators?

Please use this thread to discuss the permissions that users should be able to have in the forums. You may also wish to support/oppose, in which case:

I would greatly appreciate all opinions here and would also appreciate if this thread was highlighted so that all members can see this and comment on it. :)

Many thanks :)
