What are the Advanced Permissions for enabling a forum only editor to delete AND edit other users posts
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Ideally I would like a user or user group to be able to "Edit" and "Delete" their own and others posts in a forum, but ideally not "Promote to Page" or have access to Page "Permissions" for the forum. This is so they can edit or delete inappropriate posts on the forum (only) and oversee the forum.
The forum is a members only forum so posts do not need to be approved first, only edited or deleted if inappropriate once posted. The forum is on a site with multiple forums in different parts of the site, each forum will have its own editor to edit or delete posts that may be inappropriate.
The site is running Advanced Permissions.
Enabling "Edit Content" in page permissions on the top (topic) level page of a forum enables the selected user to be able to edit their own and others' posts in discussions on that forum. They can thus act like a moderator / editor for posts on that particular forum, however the delete link does not show with this permission option set.
The only way that this user can see the delete link on their own and others posts is to enable "Edit Permissions" for that user. This also enables "Promote to Page" link for each post (not ideal), and access to "Permissions" on the Edit bar (not wanted for this user).
I have tried other Page Permissions combinations and properties such as "Delete Version" but these do not seem to get the desired results.

A simpler way would be to add the delete permission on the parent page and have that trickle down to the discussion posts, but then they'd be able to delete that parent page, so probably not ideal. ;)
Does that make sense?
