all staff always had the move and delete icons, not just mods, from when we categorised the forums and needed "all hands on deck" to organise it all.
But, I don't think it's worked since then - has it? Did the move icon work?
it's either both of them or neither... up to you staff. Do you ever use the buttons?
But I guess if you ever got to a situation where you needed 'all hands on deck' again & were short of Mods cos of holidays etc etc it would be easy for you to put them back ?
I think sv Shell's post answers that question, jp. If she didn't use the MOVE icon then maybe some of the other moderators didn't either.
Like I said I moved a lot of topics to their appropriate forum. Matt enabled that action for me when the site increased from 1 forum, he needed all hands on deck to move topics to appropriate forums.
As the icon still worked I just moved topics when they required it, it saved me having to keep contacting the mods to do it.
As Matt has deleted the icon none of the staff can move topics, except himself of course.
