We had similar issues on our site where depending on who was making someone a moderator determined the permissions given, which was complicated by the fact that we have different levels of moderators. To get around the problem we created a scheduled task that ran update queries on the db to give each specific level of moderator only those permissions which they should have.

That sounds like a nice work-around, one problem I'm facing right now is I don't even know what queries to run on my database (wouldn't mind the help)

Surely you simply change the permissions for the usergroup "moderators"

Yeah but then another moderator will be promoted and this process will be repeated (setting custom permissions) would rather change the default settings for the long run

did you find the solution for this?

I did the manual intervation, but I'd like to make it the default.

Not yet, been trying though backed up and ran a few queries of my own nothing did it though
