I'm pretty sure we would be giving mods the ability to sort out those sorts of issues on forums and threads. If this position solely involved housekeeping and editing, then it would be a no-brainer for rollbacks to be receiving this new right, but it also involves resolving conflicts and mending social issues, as delineated in the "moderator" right. Having only admins be in charge of these issues in the past has led to wonky disputes not being nipped in the bud faster than they would have been if a larger amount of active users had been available to control the situations.

That's why I'm personally in favor of giving current CMs the ability to volunteer for the extra rights and we admins would evaluate their conflict-resolving prowess thereafter. We admins haven't determined a concrete determination for how these rights would transpire yet, though, seeing how there's currently a vote up for it.
