 Threads that are closed by forum moderators can no longer be posted in. Threads are usually closed due to being old topics, no longer useful for discussion purposes, archiving purposes, or even in some cases to stop flame wars. If you need a closed thread reopened, contact the specific forum's moderator(s).
 ===<span style="color:gold">Moderator Rights and How to Set Them</span>===
 Moderators have the ability to close, sticky, move, and delete threads. The public world forums are moderated by team members, by which are appointed by game admin. However, for private group forums, the group leader can set moderators to take care of the forums. To do this, the group leader hero must go to 'Group Forum' -> 'Administrator' -> Search the hero name you wish to instate -> Give the hero moderator rights to select forums.
 ===<span style="color:gold">Forum Administration (new forums, forum comment)</span>===
 Forum administration is currently only available to the group leaders. To access this feature, the group leader hero must go to 'Group Forum' -> 'Administrator' -> 'Forums'. From here, comment sections and forum layout is readily accessible and able to be personalized to fit the needs of your group.
