Fencer: I like this idea I just made up for the managers in fellowship. I think it'd be one way to fix the out of control moderation on some of the boards too. The main moderator could have a check list like this too. If he has other moderators on board with him he could choose which reponsibilties to delegate.

For this co-moderator it requires my approval to:

[] Ban someone
[] Hide someone
[] Edit a post
[] Hide a post
[] Delete a post
[] Add a moderator
[]....

The main moderator could leave the checkmarks blank for full reponsiblity and check those he wants to retain exclusive control over.

And you need to make it so an individual post may be hiden without hiding everything else that this person has posted.
