Topic: Moderators permissions

I have a site with 10 forums, each having 1-2 moderators.

I have been having some spam problems lately, and often the moderators notice this first in other forums than where they have permission to moderate.

Is there a way of letting all moderators have permission to delete messages. Also in forums they do not moderate?

I feel that making everybody administrator in every forum, would just make it unclear who has the main responsibility.

Make global moderators, assign them to all the forums you have.

Re: Moderators permissions

Not without modifying the code or making them administrators, the whole point of giving moderator permissions in certain forums is to control where individual moderators can edit/delete.

Re: Moderators permissions

I would suggest looking into more effective methods to combat the spam problem? Are you talking about human spam or spambots?

Re: Moderators permissions

Thanks for the suggestions. I did not think about the possibility of making some of them administrator (the former forum I used, had just one administrator and multiple moderators).

Currently it is just 1-2 messages a day(human and bots), so it is really more of an annoyance than a real problem right now. I guess Ill have to look at more effective ways if it escalates.

Thanks a lot.
