No, not junior moderators or moderators in training. But by virtue of their demostrated dedication they are potential candidates for moderator positions, and many of our new moderators are likely to come from their ranks. For that reason they and FT will benefit from a close working relationship with the moderator(s) of their forums. For example, I can see potential benefits from informal copying on some kinds of PMs, albeit to a much lesser degree than for a moderator in training. That really starts to blur any bright line you wanted to draw.
