Moderators need some guidelines. 

Should we moderate in forums not assigned to us if there is an urgent situation?

What should be done when we see discussion of NDA/confidentiality breaching spoilers?

Is there a way to remove/move a thread?

We need a head moderator to make, maintain and distribute these types of rules...

The new forums allow many more functions for moderators than the current forums.  The current forums had a bug when I tried to assign moderators to particular forums that prevented me from doing so, and moderators can't move or delete threads.  This is some pretty basic functionality that must be there.  We're working quickly to get the new forums online.

I think locking the thread and editing it as you did today is an excellent remedy in the short term.

Having an admin/moderator only forum on the new boards would be a useful way to deal with these issues.  In the past we were able to discuss moderation policy and attempt to be consistant when adjudicating problems.

Also, I'd suggest creating a clear "chain of command" when it comes to who's the head moderator, who moderates each board, etc.  That will help clarify some of these issues in the future.

A chain of command and guildines would be great. LCS & Zenako gave some great advice in an abpove thread abouts mods cleary stating what they are doing.

A mod only section seems really nessacry to sort out issues and debate before having united face stuff.

Double post

So I take it you're the new heard moderator LCS?  If so, congrats.  I'm looking forward to seeing those standards and some more structure here. 

Let me know if there's some way that I can help.
