After some reflection I have opted to remove the “Leader” group status from all staff, and selected members. As the staff are already moderators and have access to the staff forum via that association, I am going to opt to only give the permissions the Leader group had to actual moderators. There were some complaints about this in the past and after seeing some things I did not like seeing happen, here we are. Anyone who had Leader access can request to become a moderator of course. I am just hoping that this change will allow the moderating team to work better, as a team with team communication, etc.
Thanks for reading.
