Re: Finding Moderator Permissions (was: Tweaking the message footers for one's group . . .)
|
Chris,
?
However, in shalstest that entry simply isn't there, and neither can I see it in (for example) Brian's equivalent entry. ?
That is correct.
?
Leaving that one unchecked is an old habit of mine, because giving it out makes the moderator (almost) all-powerful. I think the only thing the moderator can't do with that permission is change someone's role to or from Owner. I think.
?
Is this something that ought to be raised on beta; there is nowhere a moderator can go to find a definitive list of what they can and cannot do if that box is not checked. ?
I'd like to see it raised again.
?
I'm pretty sure I asked for it once long ago but some group owners didn't want it shown to moderators, for fear of hurt feelings or arguments ("why won't you let me xxx"); in my own view that concern is silly. Worse than silly, it reflects the kind of manager that gives their subordinates the "mushroom treatment".
Showing that same list of checkboxes, but disabled (unchangeable), would be a way of letting moderators figure out for themselves why they can or can't do certain things in the group. I don't like mysterious (lack of) functionality in user interfaces - I'm a firm believer in de-mystifying where practical. ?
