Pending him agreeing, I've just made hippy a Super Moderator.
He gets a load of powers to do things like merge duplicate threads, and to correct thread titles, etc.
However this is a civil role about helping to maintain the forum... it is absolutely NOT a policing role.
In fact, to that point... should anyone ever suspect that hippy is censoring people, even in jest, or anything like that... then they should report it to me. All of his activity in relation to being a "Super Moderator" is logged and audit-able, so it will be easy to determine whether he does go beyond his remit of helping to maintain the forum.
I've given him this role as he has been consistent in identifying over a prolonged period of time things like duplicate threads, thread titles needing fixing (or prefixing in the case of Classifieds), etc. I also trust that he's not the type of person who will choose to abuse the powers he has. So by doing this I might be able to reduce a little of my workload, or at least have it so that maintenance is performed faster as there would now be two of us doing it.
