They can already:
(correct me if I'm wrong)

    Lock Topics
    Delete Topics
    Unjail/Jail Members
    Strike Members
    Approve Reports
    Vote on Defendants
    *Insert Other Stuff I Don't Know Here*


The next step from what I can see is near Admin status:

    Banning Members from Cbox/Site/Etc.
    Adding/Removing/Changing Forums and Other Site Features


And, yeah... Comments would be appreciated, as I can't see why you say mods need more power.

Hmph. Let's cut down to business. Your forum moderating staff has no iron fist and thus no respect because your web admin is obviously a weakling. He gives you no power and he himself all power. The Kaiba Corporation forums don't have these issues because it's run by a strong leader: Me. Buying out your forum would be a blessing. Remember that.

For the love of god, Blue, at LEAST keep it out of GD.
Removing forums and features should really be left to the admins; they run the site, moderators just enforce the rules. Cbox privileges would help a lot too, though; one more reason we could use an IRC channel. ФֻФ

*content removed for threat of flamebait*

As I said before, the reason people say the mods need more power is because Francis has absolute power and yet he just faffs around. I suppose the other members want the mods to pick up the slack that Francis is leaving, hence why they want more power. Plus the fact that there are some universally annoying members who never improve helps. Since Francis is too forgiving and naive due to his random appearances, members want mods to be able to ban these users because they themselves can see that the user contributes nothing positive to the site and must be removed. But that's just my opinion.

I think we need another admin. Someone who is an old member, wise, smart, knows coding and such, and can make a good decision. Along with being vary neutral and active. The new admin and Francis can talk about their new ideas and help each other out. Thats just my opinion.

ADMIN FITS THE BILL PERFECTLY UNJAIL HIM

Also, IMO, more admins isn't a lot necessary, as we already have a President. However, I do think mods need a few more privileges, such as ability to ban.

Only after they've been a mod for a certain length of time. I believe Maiq and Black Yoshi will make great mods- that's why I chose them- but I still think such powers should come with time.

Then they wouldn't be "near-admins;" they would be full-blown admins. I'm not opposed to the idea of giving access to the forum administrative interface to one of the oldest, most trustworthy members, however.
