Need to add sub-moderator role

We would like to see a sub-moderator role added – so that an individual category or forum can have its own moderator. A sub-moderator would only be able to edit the category or forum she is assigned to – and not have moderating permissions for any other category or forum. In this way we can share out the moderating duties and create categories and forums with special themes – with those discussions led or taught by a specific individual who is also that category’s moderator.

Is this possible?

Hello Constance,

at the moment its only possible to set the moderator-role globally for all forums. Changing this to a more specific moderation-management requires a lot of changes for the existing functionality (especially permissions, user groups, query-generation for allowed content, etc). I will keep this suggestion in my mind but unfortunately it will definitely not come in the very-near future.

Thanks, Thomas. We are working within the present capabilities of Asgaros and will incorporate new developments as they come along.

(expression of interest for a ‘new feature’)

I too would have a use for a ‘forum/subforum’ moderator.

My ‘Asgaros forum’ implementation (a closed membership only forum) has a number of special interest groups (SIG) forums (within the SIG category) and each one has at least one ‘owner/organiser’.  It would be extremely useful to be able to assign theses individual members the privileges to edit,make/unmake ‘sticky’, delete and move posts within their own forum or subforum.  The ability to ‘move’ would have to be restricted to moving replies from one topic to another within their forum/subforum.

So far I’m really impressed with this forum. I’d rather use this than phpbb, and or mybb, as it is connected directly into Wordpress which is a popular thing for now, I will be using this forum as my business support and among other things. Ok, not to get side tracked here. I was wondering if there by any chance I could add a group Icon to each groups? like one for staff and one for users, etc etc? Oh, as for sub moderators, Yes, those are nice to have would be interested.

Hello @karmarpgs

Adding group-icons is already possible via custom-css code – based on the group-id. A rule for an usergroupd with the ID 9 could look like this:

.usergroup-tag-9:before {
    /* your rules */
}

How do you want to use icons? Just in the backend or also in the frontend next to a post to make it more recognizable beside of its color?
