Looking at the code around line 600 in forum_access.module, it seems that the only way to have a user moderate posts in a forum topic is either if it's their own content, or if they've been manually added as moderators for that forum topic. But there's no way to make a user automatically be able to moderate anything in absolutely any forum topic (including newly created ones).

Would be great to have a permission "administer all forum topics" that would simply allow that!

Attached is a patch against dev.

Can someone please review it? (very simple: just created a permission, and checked for it in forum_access_node_access())

moderate posts in a forum topic

I don't understand what you're saying — your terminology is wrong.

We have forums that contain forum topics that contain comments. FA supports adding a user as moderator of a forum, which allows him to edit the topics and comments in that forum.

Users cannot be "moderator of ANY forum topic". Maybe you mean "moderator of all forums"?

Have you tried the "edit any forum content" permission?
