+
+Well, there's a very clear distinction: helping is done by everyone.
+Everything beyond help is moderator's role: closing threads, edit
+other people's posts if necessary, rename topics, etc. - and in the
+few rare cases also enforcing rules.
+
+> phpbb3 allows such custom profiles definition in user rights and also in moderator rights
+
+I know, I spent some time with the rights system of phpbb3. :(
+
+> On a personal point of view, i'd preach $lang forums teams to speak with each other to share good practices :)

+
+Then create a forum for all moderators&admins where they can share
+such information.
+At mandrivauser.de we have a hidden forum for the moderators where
+they can post such "user cases", giving links to the posts in
+question, documenting what they have done (sent a pm to the user,
+etc.) and sharing discussions about what to do in this or that case.
+Hidden it is because it's not advisable to discuss a single user in
+the open.
