Group Manager & Forum Managers!

My mistake, I put in my feature request below as a post on some other topic & got zer response! - will my new topic get some response please?

--------------------

Hi

I am really looking forward to both the above features. i.e. multiple roles assignments & fixing the default view of the topic - (bugs me too big time...)

My specific interest, like Avinash, is to assign 'forum manager' roles rather than ‘group manager' role - this is a feature that'll create a sense of ownership for the site among the ‘forums managers' apart from the ‘ever-eager' group manager & am hoping that this may translate into a larger group engagement - which is the real intention. But I also feel that it is right to still leave the overall control to the group manager/ creator of the group.

Having said this, I now wonder what privileges would we assign to "Forum Managers"? - I guess they could be;

- A visible title/ role (which is already there, but can it be more vivid?)

And ONLY for the assigned Forum/ group of forums being able to;

- email blast of topic

- edit the topics

- email topics to pending members

- 'export' member database (this could be perceived as a real privilege....) but not to ‘manage members' otherwise

The group manager however should have the rights to review/ retract the assigned roles based upon performance/ cooperation.

Will the soon-to-be-released version take care of these aspects?
