I'm not sure if this has been requested before as a site feature. My apology if this has been asked already, but as regular contributor at forums, it seems to me that the forums needs moderators to: * approve/reject posts (I've just reported alot of spam post just recently) * delete duplicate posts * move posts to appropriate forums section * merge similar posts * edit/format posts * delete Necro-posting and thread-jacks Those are just some of the main features that I think are needed as moderators. Having moderators in forums would definitely help the forums site clean, reliable and a wonderful place to participate.
