This is an old thread, but I was surprised to find that users who are moderators of a category do not have the ability to pin topics to the top of the category. This seems like an important role that a moderator could have.
One solution would be to give moderators TL4 status, but I don’t think this works well because this would be giving a user the ability to pin topics to all categories, right? So you wouldn’t want to do that when you have one user be the moderator for one category, another user be the moderator for a different category, etc.
Is there a way to allow moderators to pin topics on just the categories on which they are moderators? Or to give Users TL4 status just for specified categories?
