Sponsor |  lerryn | Apr 19, 3:56pm | | what is actually needed is a quick and easy method for appointing say a temporary mod in the case of owner/mod absence. There are a few groups where the owner has not logged in to SU for a number of months, no mods appear to be active, so the group is rudderless! |

Sponsor | | tigerdragonbrand | Apr 19, 4:57pm | With all due respect, lerryn, there is already a way to do that. If you contact feedback, they will get back to you and help.
There was recently a problem in a forum, the owner is absent. First I tried to contact the mods. When that didn't work, I resolved the problem within a day.
I believe we're on the right track with what's currently being discussed. :) |

Sponsor | | usmjam | Apr 21, 1:09pm | The idea of group owners having the option to appoint a co-owner, super-mod, expanded rights for mods, etc, has been kicked around for a while now. Its a good idea that should be given priority after all this time.
Good ideas such as those mentioned here get brought up time and again but with passage of time they get treated as a "new" idea to be considered "later on", and later on, and later on... |

Sponsor | | DSC501 | Apr 21, 1:14pm | | 15 - that would be high on my list as well. Owners should have options to allow mods to do more than just hide/lock posts and threads. Seems like a good idea to me. (granted, I don't own any groups so I don't know for certain what other rights, if any, an owner would have besides banning users) |

Sponsor | | tigerdragonbrand | Apr 21, 2:02pm | | All mods used to be able to ban members. They just couldn't make changes to the forum colors, description, etc. I remember the day those privileges were taken away, and why - tho I shan't go into it now. ;) But I will say that it was pretty near 3 years ago now, and things have really changed on SU. I don't think it should go back to where all mods can ban members, but allowing the owner to designate maybe one or two, sure would be helpful. :) |

Sponsor | | imorgen | Apr 21, 6:53pm | | How about a group membership/moderation ratio limit? That way a large group could have the help of extra moderators whereas a smaller one wouldn't end up filled with moderators and only a few non-mod members. |
