Moderation often requires a calm and composed thinking before taking action.
Administrators should always give the moderation power to user after thinking carefully.

For this particular purpose, MyBB has special moderator tools that allow users to gain special permissions on post and thread.  Using those tools, users can become trial moderators and can prove themselves before taking any action.
