As an admin at the Marvel Wiki, I'd love for a few changes/options to happen:


 * The ability to restrict access to certain threads to only users with certain user-rights. We have an "Admin Board", but it's all viewable and editable by the entire wiki, which defeats the purpose of an admin only board.


 * Along those lines, the ability to highlight posts for certain user-rights groups. That way, you can notify admins of a new policy dicussion or some such without having to copy/paste a message on each staff member's wall. As it is, highlight will blanket everyone, with no way to distinguish.


 * The restriction of thread removals to those with certain user-rights levels. We've had users remove threads because they feel they're "outdated" or because they didn't like a response another user gave them. It'd be nice if there was an way for users to just report posts they feel are inappropriate or need to be removed, without the option for the user to just remove posts as they please.

Other than that, the forums are a great tool. It makes policy talk with other staff easier, and get the userbase interacting with one another more often.
