Excerpt from a contact with staff:

Thanks for getting in touch. Since Content Mods share a lot of rights with Admins, we felt it might be odd to let admins promote them, since Bureaucrats are the ones who promote Admins. This might be something we tweak in the future, but there hasn't been much call for it.

Content Mods are allowed to delete comments on articles since they are essentially 'article managers', and we view article comments as coming under that area.

without discusion mod though, I would not be able to edit the chat, or remove message wall posts. Hence why I needed that for the redlink crusade.
