yea I know you weren't, but that gave me that idea. It actually would be good in many situations and can't be abused since people can just leave the thread.I wasn't necessarily advocating giving them actual moderator powers but they should be the ones deciding it
Other than when people get in arguments, should be a checkbox for actual mod to undelete posts by the "thread mod" and take away their "thread mod" for that specific thread
just an interesting idea (not like it's gonna get added to forums)
