I am willing to consider adding a role below moderator (Janitor) but I am not familiar with the privileges normally afforded to such a role. I would imagine they can delete posts / attachments and spoiler / unspoiler thumbnails. Are there any other privileges they should have by default?

Hello,
On most imageboards jannies can temp ban, move threads, delete posts, but are under mods in some aspect. The listed permissions are what I remember on a site running vichan so I'm not too sure.

I didn't mention this in my last reply but a mediator is a role that can approve images but has no actual moderation powers. Sites like snappy.st, the Summy and the sharty used to have it as a role. I don't know if it would be applicable though.
I do like the image approval feature, good for preventing SNCA getting onto the site.

Thanks. Those two roles make sense. I'm considering naming the mediator role "Screener" based on the description above, unless a better name comes up. The last thing to figure out is how posts/images which are not approved by janitors/screeners should be dismissed by those staff members. They will want a way to hide things they don't approve of, but they won't have the necessary permission to actually delete the relevant content. So, dismissed IDs will need to be stored in the database. I suppose if one janitor/screener dismisses something it should be dismissed for all other janitors/screeners, and the content will then only be displayed for mods and admins. Let me know if you have any additional feedback on how this should work. I will plan on implementing this in the next version.

I do like the name screener, has a better ring to it then mediator. A few questions though:
Will janitors get the temp ban powers?
Can mods or above un-dismiss images?
Will there be a dismissal log?
Thank you very much.

> Will janitors get the temp ban powers?
Yes. By default, janitors will only be able to ban someone for up to three months. This will be configurable in case you want to permit shorter or longer durations.

> Can mods or above un-dismiss images?
No, once a janitor or screener dismisses some content, it will only be visible to administrators and moderators. From that point, it can only be approved or deleted by an admin or mod.

> Will there be a dismissal log?
I wasn't planning on logging dismissals by default, but if this is something you are interested in I will consider including an option to enable it. Let me know.

After thinking through dismissals in a bit more detail:

When a screener dismisses some content, it is dismissed from all screeners, but stays visible to admins, mods and janitors.

When a janitor dismisses some content, it is dismissed from all screeners and janitors, but stays visible to admins and mods.

Sounds good. Thank you for listening to my suggestion :)

>>203(OP)
This feature is now supported, starting with Sriracha v2.2.2.
