Moderation Discussion

Starting off (continuing) the discussion of moderation.

My recollection is we left it at:

1. Low intervention moderation: only intervene when something truly crosses a line, and mostly focus on all the background tasks- member approval, post moving, etc.
2. A moderator discussion forum (made).
3. General moderation team, but include specific people who have sub-forum based responsibilities.

If you were one of the people interested in moderating and I haven't made you a moderator, let me know. At this point, there are three tiers of moderation:

Administrator that has access to the back-end of the site. This includes software upgrades, backups, etc.
Senior Moderators: Have access to everything but the back-end of the site- this includes being able to change pretty much anything about the forums.
Moderators: Have access to basic moderation functions (deleting/editing/moving/splitting topics, approving new members, issuing warnings or suspensions) but can't change the overall forum structure and settings.

Or at least, that's how I think I have them set up.
