Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! It's great to hear that Avengers Alliance is benefitting from the new feature. A few others have inquired about a "Forum Moderator" role, and we'll keep an eye on that thread (and future requests) to see if there's a strong need for that as Forum use increases. Note that it's possible for any registered user to move threads to another board, or to remove posts and comments (though not to fully delete them).

Also, Forum and Message Wall share an email notification setting in the User Preferences Email section. It is possible to stop emails for Wall and Forum without disabling emails from Wikia in general. The drop menu's options in that setting will be made more clear with the next code release.
