Perhaps they shouldnt be allowed some of what you named, but it seems helpful
What if Chess.com had a fourth admin role in clubs?

Nah
Admin/SA can moderate bc they have the ability to and I don’t think it’ll be that impactful

I mean, they can, but they’re in charge of so much that it’d be beneficial to make that an actual role. Mods would be powerful, but not enough to ban or anything like that.
So I was looking at some clubs the other day, and they seem to have an excessive amount of off topic posting. Many clubs without structure have their notes and forums spammed with useless messages, which is not inherently a bad thing, but some clubs try to keep a more organized structure. A good example of this is the club BlogChamps, which has a no advertising rule (except in the dedicated forum). In BC, the admins do a good job of deleting advertising notes, but in other clubs with these rules admins often overlook this. I was thinking it would be nice if Chess.com could add a fourth admin role, namely Moderator, where they can delete other people’s notes and forum comments, and maybe even announcement comments, and could also view the club audit log and mute people.
That would take some strain off the admins shoulders and allow jobless people that the SAs don’t necessarily want to give a higher role, say for some reason they don’t want them capable of accepting or creating new events, to passively monitor messages and make sure they correspond with the club rules.
It would allow for more direction and organization in clubs and I think it would overall improve the experience for people, especially club users that are tired of people breaking the rules and having admins do nothing about it.

What do you all think?
