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

Yup brilliant idea :)

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