'K, thanks. Thought so, just confirming my own suspicions.

So admin rank is still the sorta all-inclusive kinda thing. Good to know.

Anyway, were I running a wikia, this is a rank that I would feel comfortable giving to large groups of users (esp. the autoconfirmed ones)… if not for the thread removal/restoration rights. From what I can tell, my main gripe with the rank will be how it removes rights from the normal users, so spam removal could be harder. If the mod status were to become a common and wide-spread rank, reversespam could be a large issue. Other than that, I think I'll be pretty happy with this update.
