Stayed out of this thread for the most part but in my humble opinion;
1. Moderators should NOT be given the necessary permissions to be able to ban members.
This is the administrators job and should stay that way. Nothing to do with extra work/time, more to do with the fact it should not be a position for the moderators to be in (this would be both wide open to mis-use*/mistake, and leave such moderators open to legal action, appropriate or not).
2. Moderators should be allowed to edit posts.
However, there is one very important caveat - such edits MUST contain timestamps and the name of the moderator that made such an edit, along with a record of edits made.
* Before anyone misreads this and freaks out, moderators are simply human and like everyone else, make mistakes, deliberate or not, and for this reason alone, such facilities should not be available to them.
3. Hiding posts
Whilst we already have the ability to hide a post, I'm not aware of a facility for recording such, and this must be available if not already, to both see when, and importantly, which moderator, hid the post. Additionally such should allow for the recording of why a post was hidden.
