A short list of what Category Moderators can do in their category:
- Edit posts
- Edit topics
- Move topics (note - if a Cat Mod moves a topic into a category they don’t have moderation perms for, they will not be able to move it back)
- Make posts/topics Wikis
- Add staff notices
- Close, archive, pin, delete, merge, and unlist topics
- Review flags
- Edit category descriptions
Category Moderators cannot:
- Change posts into PMs
- Add staff colors, lock posts, rebuild HTML
- Check moderation history on a post/topic
- Add topic timers, change timestamps, transfer ownership of posts, set slowmode, or reset the bump date
- Manage users
- Access the Admin Dashbord
If you give people Cat Mod perms in a category that you will be posting these in, they can. Cat Mods can edit all posts inside their category.
