Logofrag - Edit Rage

I did even more head pounding and determined that the approach I created last post is not useful in Logofrag.  I have tried tons of ways over the past three days to allow thread properties to be edited by the moderators, but it won't work properly.  I just now got it back to a state in which thread creation works and made editing not crash the server.  Editing does, however, duplicate the ACL entries and has no effect on other properties.  I am getting very frustrated with this project, but I'm sure it will only take another day or two before I break past this issue and actually start doing things.
