Topic: Moderator permissions on administrator posts

Moderators can delete posts created by administrators.
I do not think it is a bug and I do not have any problem with it but I am just curious why it has been done that way. Some would expect administrators posts to only be editable or deletable by administrators.

Re: Moderator permissions on administrator posts

You're right, it isn't a bug wink
The reasoning (in my mind) is that you're giving moderators the power to moderate a forum, not the power to moderate a forum except for admin posts. That would be a policy issue and not something that should necessarily be enforced by the forum software, since under certain circumstances it may be prudent for a moderator to delete an admin's post (eg: if the admin inadvertently exposed some private information on a user).
