Totally agree, But however
When we go for a differentiation among allowing a UserGroup Category to be added as a moderator to mod specific categories only..
Admin have a liberty to specify what forums will be undertaken/moderated by this group of moderators.

Vbulletin supports adding a Super-Moderator too, but again this super-moderator has the rights to edit all the forums, this wont be suitable for all forums,
I would myself like to retrict this power.

Having a UserGroup to moderate specific forums/categories is defiently a need.
I have 5 categories - each having 5 forums in them.
I have appointed 3-5 moderators for each category, depending upon the activity there.

When some moderator leaves/joins the system. I only need to add/remove them from specific category.
Now, this is a very well supported system by Vbulletin.

but however, It would be better if (Vbulletin Users) I am able to add all the moderators to those 5 public categories, its always beneficial.

I in fact need it for my clan forum. we exist from a platoon (that I want the platoon command to be able to moderate, including section forums which ARE NOT SUB FORUMS). And the section forum has to be moderated by section command.

And this goes on for duty offices such as recruiting, which need moderating access to both enlistment forums and recruit files. And the NCO's (which can run up real fast) need moderating access to 3 public forums, and personnel files.

Quite frankly, usergroup moderating is really important for me. If it isn't in 3.1, I will make a custom mod for it...
