So I noticed that there was no system for granting Discussion Moderators rights. We have one for every right other than Patroller so I don't see why we don't make one for this. For those who don't know, Discussion Mods can...
- Remove and restore threads and replies from any user.
- Close and reopen threads.
- In the Forum feature specifically, moderators also have the ability to manage Forum boards, move threads from one board to another, and highlight and un-highlight threads.
- Moderate chat (CM rights are built in)
- Delete blog comments
- Edit and delete article comments
So.... I guess that's all that has to be said! Let the voting commence!
NOTE: Running for Discussions Moderator requires you to already have Chat Moderator rights.
