But I think the biggest problems with Forum mods is that most of them just don't edit the mainspace, it's not an opinion but a fact, giving your opinion & advice just isn't what this wiki is about. It doesn't make somebody admin material. It's about the articles themselves.

That said, I do believe that a new user group needs to be created for Forum mods here like I did on my wiki. Give Forum mods the ability to actually close threads & so they can do their job effectively would not only be beneficial to the mods themselves, but to the wiki in general. Ghost, Patrollers don't go on the Forums either, is the thing. So, why is it different when Forum Moderators do not edit the Mainspace? Because the mainspace is what this wiki exists for Zipper. I already explained this to you, please tell me how a forum mod is going to give advice on the mainspace when they get admin, when they don't even know how to do it themselves? Just because the role doesn't focus on the main space doesn't mean people who are forum mods are thick and don't know how to edit articles Ghost.
