+Nope in my mind helping can be done by everyone but helping responsability should go to a dedicated team with partial moderation abilities to take care of forum cleanliness (topics titles, statuses...)
+
+But enforcing rules (banning, validating, warning) should not rely on their shoulders

+>> 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 :)
+>> What won't be required or enforced. Just nice-to-have things :

+>> -- What would be (perhaps ?) interesting to share : for people jumping from a forum to another it would be (perhaps ?) cool to share data about ip banning for example. And more generally sharing data about users that bring discord or behave in a reprehensible way...
+> Then create a forum for all moderators&admins where they can share

+
+Yup brilliant idea :)
+
+> 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.

+
+yup... agreed (i set up this moderation dedicated forum on each board i manage ^^)
