We did ask if it was possible to give one of the mods admin powers and that came back as a resounding no and the idea was dropped.

Ah, makes sense then.
I really don't know much about the structure of the bulletin board software and how much control can actually be given to moderators, or whether individual privileges can be assigned at that level. There would have to be a new member filtering privilege for mod accounts for it to work without upgrading mod accounts to admin status... so I guess that answers my question, as I assume that's not a standard option in the software.
