Administrators

Administrators have great power, including

  • edit threads
  • delete threads
  • edit comments
  • delete comments
  • create categories
  • edit categories
  • delete categories
  • mute users
  • unmute users

All of these are available through the api, but most haven't been implemented on the frontend yet. See the latest api docs for more information.
