I want to allow a particular user/group to edit or delete other peoples' posts witin a certain forum.  However, I do not want them to be able to change other users' profile setting.
 
I searched the forums and the closest I found was a post from a couple years ago that stated:
Replace the entire section in register.asp after
'********************************************
'***  Check and setup page for admin mode ***
'********************************************
 
with:
 
'If the admin mode is enabled see if the user is an admin
If blnAdminMode AND blnAdmin = False Then
 Set rsCommon = Nothing
 adoCon.Close
 Set adoCon = Nothing
 Response.Redirect("insufficient_permission.asp?FID=" & intForumID)
End If
 
Now moderators can not view or edit member profiles anymore. You may also want to remove
the 'edit profile' button from the member popup profiles by changing the (I guess that it
looks that way)
 
If blnAdmin OR blnModerator then.....display 'edit profile button'
 
to:
 
If blnAdmin then.....display 'edit profile button'
I tried this, however it also prevented the administrator from editing users' profiles.
 
I want to be able to set up a group that can only edit/delete other peoples' posts from within the same forum only but not change their profile.  I also want the administrator to be able to edit user profiles.
 
Is there a way to do this and so how?

I searched the forum some more.  I wanted to pass this solution on to others who wanted to remove the abiltity for moderators to edit user profiles.
 
Someone had posted this:
If you mean they never can edit profile edit
includes/setup_options_inc.asp
Find
Const blnModeratorProfileEdit = True 'Set this to False if you do not ant moderators to edit the profiles of forum members
And set it false
DO THIS ONLY IF YOU DON'T WANT MOD CAN EDIT PROFILE!!!
This works for ALL moderators, not just for 1.
To let him only edit 1 forum, just go do admin panel
Click Individual Member Permissions
Type the username
select Forum Moderator and the forum where he is.
Then create/update premissions
Good luck!
I tried this and it worked.  Moderators could edit/delete posts but not edit another user's profile.  The Administrator was able to edit user profiles.
