I think this is not planned at the moment.

Right, a global moderator or admin would give an "official" answer
while non-staff local moderator wouldn't. However, those moderators
are still kind-of-official like the AT as discussed earlier.
Mainly i think the issue of moderators giving official support
is not that important as a moderator's primary duty is to keep the
forums running, take care of misplaced posts etc.
If i don't reply to a post with something different than "Moved from..."
or "Please don't do..." (which represents an official act), i usually
answer questions about topics i have knowledge on. I sometimes also
answer to threads just asking some generic questions ("what's your
setup in detail", etc) to make it more likely to get support for this
user by some other poster because i don't have the slightest clue
about the software problem and/or architecture. Sometimes i find a bug
report on b.g.o and point the user to it.
Imo, these are posts that could be made by any other experienced user -
irrelevant if he's moderator, developer or user. Developers also
sometimes answer threads that are outside their work area, i'm not
sure how official this support is regarded.
Hope this clears things up and everyone is fine with that.
cheers,
Wernfried
