What is the difference between "can post" and "can reply"?

What I'm looking for is a way to make a member a moderator of just one "topic," not the entire forum in which that topic exists. I want to create a category where a user can open his/her own topic to use as a "blogspot." They would then be able to start their own blog (topic), then email me with their username and topic title and, through the acp, I would be able to set their user permission to moderator, but just for that topic (so s/he could lock out other posters and/or delete/edit their readers' replies, comments, etc...). As of right now (and my phpbb is pretty new, so their may already be a MOD for this of which I am not aware), the only way to make a user a moderator via the acp is to do so for one or more forums. Obviously, the problem here would be that s/he would then be able to go into other users blog topics and moderate them, and nobody wants that.I suppose another way to make it work would be to make each user's "blogspot" a new forum, but that would require a good deal more work on my part creating new forums/categories as needed, on the fly, and who's got time for that, right?
Any ideas, direction, comments, etc... would be appreciated. Laughter, however, can be kept to a minimum![]()
