We've already posted the new moderator assignment feature as a WIN from Ning. Here are some suggestions for improving the system!
When we assign low-level moderators permissions, we would like to have the ability to prevent access to functions visible under the manage tab. We have had to hide this with a hack on our site to prevent our forum mods from tinkering with forum categories.
Currently we are unable to promote anyone to a member management position (rendering this feature useless in our case) as it would give them too much power to mass-ban or unban members. We would like to give mods the ability to ban members from the link on the member pages, but prevent access to the member lists, so that they cannot approve pending members or unban banned members. This is for a very serious reason - we have some unpleasant individuals in our banned list, and no matter how responsible we think our mods are, we cannot take the risk of exposing our site or our members to potential danger. At the same time, we would really like to hand out banning powers to a couple of our mods, so they can get rid of anyone posting offensive content FAST when we aren't around.
