[RFC] Moderation System

[imkingdavid]

This RFC is for the implementation of a Moderation system that is geared more towards discussion and accountability, while also providing more control over what moderators can and cannot do (globally and locally using permission system), and tools available to the moderators either through core code or in the default package that will decrease time spent performing moderation actions.

The Wiki RFC is available: HERE

Most of the features below are currently available in MOD form for Olympus (either in development or released), and together they may provide a more efficient moderation system.

Thanks, and all suggestions are welcome!

(please forgive the "backseat moderation")
imo - should be moved to "RFC" forum.
mod - if you decide to do that, i would be grateful if you can remove this post while at it.
thanks.

Thanks cherokee_red for moving this to the proper forum.

Also, an RFC has been created in the wiki here, and as such, the first post has been modified to not repeat all of the information included in the wiki.

Discussion is welcome. Thanks!

EDIT: I just added some stuff about logging user, admin, and moderator actions with more detail, etc. as well as a post revision system that lets you view and compare versions of a post each time it is edited, as well as allowing you to restore a post to a previous or later revision.
