well i think bbpress in the future will have more functionality for moderators.
i think its assigning one to each forum or something like that, cant remember much.
what kind of panel of controls should moderators have, like explain a little more??
Example, I choose four persons to be Moderators of my forum, then that person needs a panel to “Manage” and can delete posts, ban users, etc, you know?
Help me, please.
well moderators can look at forums in the front end and then use the admin links to either sticky the topic , close the topic, spam the topic etc.
banning users permanently would require a different plugin to ban the ip address of the user ,search some security plugins in the wordpress.org plugin repository have this feature
banning users temporarily you can just go to users>all users search for the person your trying to ban for a short while then change their forum role to blocked. then when the temporary ban is done you can just switch back.
