I think this is not planned at the moment. |

Right, a global moderator or admin would give an "official" answer |
| 14 |
while non-staff local moderator wouldn't. However, those moderators |
| 15 |
are still kind-of-official like the AT as discussed earlier. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Mainly i think the issue of moderators giving official support |
| 18 |
is not that important as a moderator's primary duty is to keep the |
| 19 |
forums running, take care of misplaced posts etc. |
| 20 |
If i don't reply to a post with something different than "Moved from..." |
| 21 |
or "Please don't do..." (which represents an official act), i usually |
| 22 |
answer questions about topics i have knowledge on. I sometimes also |
| 23 |
answer to threads just asking some generic questions ("what's your |
| 24 |
setup in detail", etc) to make it more likely to get support for this |
| 25 |
user by some other poster because i don't have the slightest clue |
| 26 |
about the software problem and/or architecture. Sometimes i find a bug |
| 27 |
report on b.g.o and point the user to it. |
| 28 |
Imo, these are posts that could be made by any other experienced user - |
| 29 |
irrelevant if he's moderator, developer or user. Developers also |
| 30 |
sometimes answer threads that are outside their work area, i'm not |
| 31 |
sure how official this support is regarded. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Hope this clears things up and everyone is fine with that. |

cheers, |
