In response to the needs expressed to me by staff and players, the following modifications have been made to moderator abilities.
I have created two groups/mod levels with permissions, Sphere Storytellers and Assistant Storytellers
Sphere Storyteller Abilities work globally across all boards. They may modify or change any function on any board listed below:
Assistant Storyteller Abilities
The following abilities only function on the Sphere boards that the particular AST is associated with. For example, a Changeling AST cannot lock a thread on the Mage boards.
Since they are not sphere specific, the ALL OOC and ALL RANT boards may only be modified by the admin or a Sphere Storyteller
Any questions, let me know!
