    What does the "Moderation" button visibliablity have relation to? The thread's acl or the user's role?

    When I debug on my own PC, logged in as a superuser, this button shows.
    But on my deployed site, sometimes the button shows up, but no sub list in this button.
    When I debug I find out the rendered HTML has no this button, but the HTML has the acl information with the permission, like "can_pin_threads" .
    But I don't actually have experience with React.js.
    So can you give me any advise to solve the problem on my deployed site. Thanks.

    Hey dollar!

    "Superuser" status is admins thing only - it grants one access to admin panel and option to make or remove admin status from other users.

    But on my deployed site, sometimes the button shows up, but no sub list in this button.

    This shouldn't happen. This button should appear only when threads exist that you may have moderation options for. On threads list empty menu suggests that you have moderation options, but those are available for some threads while not available for threads that you've selected for moderation.

    I'm guessing you've created new categories but didn't grant "forum team" rank moderation roles for those.
