Content/thread moderators cannot, but the wiki's all-purpose Moderator rank can. The move would basically entail giving every mod the latter title, rather than creating a new rank from scratch.

I understand that, but I don't think block rights are really something that can be ignored: users who currently hold the content/thread moderator ranks were perhaps not voted in with the expectation that they'd have that kind of power, and I think we've all seen at least one mod abuse it before -- it's not pretty. I trust that Tyranitar12 and I won't issue unwarranted bans, but I stress that this is a move everyone aware of this discussion needs to be on board with first.
