What are all the things a category moderator can do?

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.
