I like that this topic discusses specific use cases (which, to me, seem to be not so uncommon). Trying to solve these cases could be a way of creating/improving some workarounds for two frequently recurring issues:

1. discourse federation aka #discourse\_hub
2. [cagegory-specific moderators](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-specific-moderators-phase-1-rfc/21900)

> Hey there, I was sad to see that I didn’t realize there were no category-specific permissions for moderation until after I got everything all set up and what not but I really like the forum in general and am trying to find some sort of way to work around this. I see that there is a tag system, is are there anyways to have custom permission based on the tags applied to threads or anything of the like? Essentially the main goal is Developer-A has Category-A, Dev-B has Cat-B, Both Dev-A and Dev-B…
