all the moderators here are globally allowed to do anything...
web monkey was once restricted to a single forum whilst david assessed whether he was a good choice for mod, but after he'd prooved himself the restrictions were lifted...
specific mods is a fairly good Idea, I mean it mean that there will be less arguments amongst people and mods on larger forums where one mod might turn a blind eye and others may take action.
but it is dispointing for some mods to see other mods let a section of a forum go down the pan with either under, or over moderation...
I like it how we have things here where each mod can do anything anywhere
