Regular mods can still edit/delete others' forum posts

About a year ago, a change to the site was made that regular mods can no longer edit nor delete other users' forum posts in the games they moderate in. However, I have just discovered that this wasn't completely removed. I was checking out some old forum posts in a game I moderate. As usual, the three dots that used to say "Edit post" and "Delete post" weren't there. However, when I went to the user's who posted the post's "Forum posts" section to look at that again, the three dots were there.

To make myself 100% clear, here are a couple screenshots:

I think this should be fixed.

Tl;dr Regular mods can still edit and delete other users' posts through the specific person's "Forum posts" section.

(This is at least what happened to me when I tried to do that) If you try to delete a user's posts through their "Forum Posts" section, it'll give you an error that says "You do not have permission to delete this post". So yeah, regular mods still can't delete other's posts.
