Why do TL4 users have permissions to manage other users' topics?

Trust level 4 users can help to moderate the forum.
In contrast to trust levels 0-3, trust level 4 has to be granted manually by staff. So these are users you trust so much that you give them further permissions.

The setting you are looking for is ‘edit all posts groups’. I always use this topic to find those settings.
