Chart comparison for owner/maintainer/moderator?

Mar 25, 2012 00:46

Would it be useful to have a table in 225, 330, or 332 (or maybe all of them) showing the differences between what an owner, maintainer, and moderator can do? Something like this, with appropriate cross-linking as necessary:

Notes:

1 - While a moderator can always add existing tags, they can only create new tags or remove tags from an entry if the "Who can create new tags and add/remove tags from entries" on Manage Tags is set to Members Only, Any User, or to a Custom Security Group that contains that moderator.

2 - When a moderator screens a comment that comment is collapsed but a link remains for the moderator to unscreen the comment. If they refresh the page, that comment will then be entirely hidden and can't be unscreened.
