The ability to split selected posts off as a new thread and to merge a thread into a existing thread would be useful.
Some newer users hijack an existing thread in trying to get help and OP then gets frustrated in not getting help directly anymore or things can get off topic or just needs to be cleaned off.
Posts that get split could have a feature where it says somewhere the thread number it was splitted off from whether as a new thread or into say a Locked forum section. This way we easily know where it came from originally. edit: if need be we can just add thread number to subject or post.
Some newer users would make new threads to reply to replies made in their original thread so those posts could perhaps be merged into original thread as we currently lock those and link to existing thread.
Being able to lock individual posts is useful whether you make post edits or not.
Anybody who has moderated on phpBB3 may be familiar with the Moderator Control Panel. It is a handy way to monitor the latest actions or the separate reported posts, reported PM's and the moderation logs by both members and staff.
The moderator logs shows the post Approved/Disapproved with reasons, post edits (locking individual posts shows as edit), who locked thread. It shows post and thread deletion and since regular members can delete their own thread/post if nobody replies after it shows that also. It also shows logs of who banned an account, IP, and email details.
Yes we have the Moderate Forum Content section here but it is more basic and reported posts is only logged there as long as no mod/admin removes it. It makes no log of when a moderator action is done on a thread/post there either though individual posts do log who edited post.
However yes there is the who deactivated users log page but due to the search posts bug on many deactivate accounts it makes it harder to know why an account was deactivated.
