Ok, you don't have moderator rights yet... But read this.
So, there's a feature that grants Manage Thread status to people at a certain threshold of Reputation. I want to bring that number down to get people involved (possibly to 10? Seems low, but you guys are a tough crowd - not giving each other rep!), but its not configurable at the moment. There's also a higher threshold that unlocks Manage Users status. I would also bring that threshold down I think.
Of the features I have as admin, I'm assuming they correspond as follows:
Manage threads - move threads from bucket to bucket, and I'm assuming delete messages? (not sure if this falls into the next status)
Manage Users - again, not sure about delete messages (this actually just deactivates the msg, it doesn't delete it), and Ban Users. I'm imagining that this is also not permanent.
It is my full intention to give you all these burdens.. erhmm cough i mean these rights as soon as those thresholds are configurable.
