User blog comment:Mira Laime/Moderators Without Borders — a New User Group is Coming/@comment-31543510-20170815205233

I'm confused as to why global discussions moderators are set up the way they are. if I was to make something akin to this group i'd either:
 * Make it similar to VSTF where they help wikis without admins or have little attention given by local staff to discussions when notified by regular users, since that seems like a more practical use for someone who is a discussions moderator on every FANDOM Wiki. Also, maybe add CheckUser and globally blocking ability.
 * Have a list of users who are willing to help with wikis with discussions problems and have staff recommend they be temporarily promoted (or permanently if the community accepts a request for rights) to discussions moderator or admin if help is required.

I don't hate this as an idea and I think it'll work out fine but giving users rights across all wikis just so they can act as support staff for a few wikis that need help seems like a misapplication of the abilities the role has.
