It might be by design since this doesn't exist. It would be great if you could make different roles be able to administer selected kind of nodes.

classic example; you want a role "forum moderator".

He/She should be able to:

* administer comments - possible
* administer forum topics - not possible without having he/she to be able to have access to ALL kind of nodes.

Also it would be great if users could edit their own posts, comments etc without the option to be able to delete them.

The current role-based system already allows most of this, if I understand you correctly.

1. Go to administer -> access control -> [roles]
2. Create role 'forum admin'
3. Give the role permissions to administer forums
4. Assign one or more users to this role

The second part of your suggestion (allowing users to edit own content without being able to delete it) might be worth trying to implement in connection with revisions (otherwise, what's to prevent a user from just removing the text of their posting)

Actually the specific "delete own xxx content" and "delete any xxx content" permissions came in with 6.x (beta1 to be precise). 6.x also added finer-grained forum permissions (in rc2).
