Updated
Recently, I have discussed changes to the moderator group rights with Timeoin. The suggestion was to give forum moderators rollback user-rights as you would be able to edit out content (image violations, etc...) from comments when it is necessary. Rollback also grants you the right to quickly revert edits to articles, without having to use the (undo) button. You should only use the [rollback] button when it is due to vandalism.

You might ask if that makes patrollers and forum moderators the same. There is a difference between forum moderators and patrollers. Patrollers are given two types of user-rights, rollback and custodian while forum moderators are only given rollback. (Chat moderator is granted to all staff members who request it)

This rollback user-right change would be in place until Wikia comes up with the official forum moderator user-rights group.

The next change is regarding requirements and requesting to be a forum moderator. Because user-rights changes will be granted to the moderator group, the requirements for applying will be a bit more strict than it was before. For example, if all or the majority of your post are only in Off-Topic or Role Playing board, you most likely will not be accepted as a forum moderator. Forum moderators should participate in the forum in ways that assist wiki users and follow through with the tasks that are expected of forum moderators.

In the beginning when the forum moderator group was started, we had a nomination process. This time users can feel free to put in an application to request becoming a forum moderators provided that they meet the requirements.

Staff votes needed
Forum moderators will be given the rollback user-rights upon agreement with other staff members. Administrators, patrollers, and forum moderators should vote or  by editing this message. If you want to leave a comment, just reply to the message.
