The moderator permissons for the new RZ moderators are actually very huge. We can do the standard things like lock, unlock, stick, unstick, move, etc. But we can also manage forum settings, ban members, edit custom titles, edit member avatars, edit member profiles and signatures, manage the member database, and more stuff like that. And the last set of permissions I wrote are things a general super moderator can dream of. And because of the huge contact with the admins, setting up a compo isn't hard for us.

So does a moderator have authorisation to set up announcements without permission from an admin?

Yes, if you really have to.

Hmm, moderating seems a fair position then.

But wait xenon would you know if a mod could set up announcements, since you are one.

Then moderators on RZ are administrators in my opinion, and 4 or 5 admins is quite a lot :|

But they also have some admins that come and check what is going on.

Mods do have powers to add announcements, but announcements have to be important, I just wondered whether you would need admin's permission to create such a topic.

Since admins are active here, it is better to ask their advice ^^

Those extra permissions are pretty handy. The admins haven't got time to manage the forums all the day, and if only the real moderator functions are given to an user, it will all be too limited. I remember it, we always had to ask the admin all the day to get rid of spammers like matyuv and t3h1. When the admin gave us new admin-liked permissions, we warned/banned them in no time.

Well, I guess it's good to hear it is under control...

Yes, even if I do not think a forum like RZ needs so many admins.

Hmm, what powers do admins have that mods do not?

I suppose they can edit the whole community whereas “moderators” can only edit the RZ community... but who cares? :lol:
