I agree... What is the point in having a moderator with no power. LoL

IdleFire, I do have a "deleted" files section.
Let me clarify, it's not that I don't trust their judgment, it's just that a mod accidently deleted a very long thread, when they only intended to "move" it. We're all really new to running a forum, so I just want to rule out "newbie" errors smile

I guess you could do the same, and make it so no-one can see the forum except you, and maybe moderators.

1. I disabled the delete link in viewtopic.php for the mods.
2. I changed the moderate.php to first check to see who is logged in, Admin or Mod.
If the Admin is logged in the Delete button is available, otherwise it's not.

I would like to change the permissions of the moderator group restricting them to move topics/posts, rather than outright deleting them.

I changed the Delete Topic option to "no", but mods are still able to delete entire topics, including topics posted by the admin.

Please, tell me if I am doing something wrong, or missing something.

Thank you in advance.
