Moderators have zero control over how the website is designed or how it functions. We can ask for features added - and trust me I've asked for many features that would improve the functionality of the forum, improve the overall mood of the forum users, and make moderators jobs easier. Such as the ability to split threads when they derail into other conversations, so that the entire thread doesn't get lost and the side topics can become their own threads - a feature that all the other forums I've been to have had for as long as I can remember - and several other features that everyone would benefit from. I don't know if it will ever happen - I don't get feedback on it...
I'm amazed, because the Forum I moderated is at Invision Free, and it had these features. If a Mod edits a post, it goes in the Moderation log. I figured that was a subset of what what the full Invision Power Board package offered feature-wise. Apparently the Admins here don't grant those priviliges to Mods; a pity. Having said this, this thread really should be scrubbed of the off-topic posts, this one included, or locked and the links copied to a post in a new thread...
