Give an example why somebody has to be a member of more than one group??? Youre moderator with rights or a admin with rights, you can custom your own group. I can't see why you want to do this???

It is very very common for security systems to be based on users and groups. It is also very common for a user to belong to more than one group ... and thus inherit the privs of that group.
For example, I have 4 private forums which have a common "theme". Under the current WWF setup, I can assign a group of individuals (ie a "group" of specific individuals) privs for one of those forums. I cannot however, assign an individual to Group1 and Group2 ... thus I have to add the individual to each forum individually, set the rights etc.
When you get to having a large number of groups, this gets to be a real hassle. Instead of the simplicity of adding a user to a group(s) and therefore getting all the necessary access rights, we currently have to individually add each user to each forum, setup their individual rights etc etc.
