This is PERFECT thank you. My takeaway is that while there are some global permissions that Moderators get, some permissions still require a particular trust level.

So a L1 Moderator…

- Immune to rate limits
- Can process flags and posts held in the moderation queue
- Can delete topics and posts, split topics, merge topics, hide topics and so on.
- Can view user info including email address
- Can suspend, silence, anonymize and delete users
- Can adjust a user’s trust level

But can’t

- Edit their own posts for up to 30 days after posting (L2 permission)
- Recategorize and rename topics (L3 permission)

Correct?
