Why edit the variables file when the wordlet access_denied_notanadmin can be changed from the CP?

... or you could look in your admin logs and, oh, fire the Moderators that are screwing around. It is better to be able to trust than not.

I can see both sides, I prefer not to let the moderators have access. I think there should be a CP setting to disallow it. I have never had an admin other than my wife and myself and have hacked previous versions to keep moderators out.

Well, see at my forums the moderators are there none the less, to be sure that things don't get out of hand. Every so often someone wants to mess with settings, its not a trust issue, its the fact that if I wanted them to change items I'd admin them. I figured that this way it'd make it so i wouldn't have to worry about anyone doing anything in the first place.
And I stated to edit the variables in the wordlet file since I was just editing files to begin with, no real point to having to login to the cp, find the wordlet file to edit, then change items.
Its understandable that I should be able to "trust" my moderators, but at a security site its basically either you make it so people can't do things, or they'll do it to try your patience.
I also figured that some UBB users would be like me, who need to lock people out of the CP so that they don't really have to worry about anything in the first place. I actually was looking for something like this in 6.x but I couldn't locate anything, so I had to try at it myself.
