Hello. Could some of you experts please offer your help with this question?

I would like to give forum moderators the ability to move a forum thread to a different forum. However, I don't want to give them the ability to edit the body of the forum post.

Permissions only seem to offer the catch-all category of "edit any forum topic" which would allow a moderator to do both.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I can think of a couple of ways to approach this.

Forums are basically taxonomy terms so if there was a module that allowed users to change taxonomy without editing the the node that would work. Offhand I don't know of any though. (EDIT: maybe http://drupal.org/project/term_permissions?)

Another option might be http://drupal.org/project/comment_alter_taxonomy but that requires leaving a comment as well-- imo not a bad thing (ie leaving a "moved to appropriate forum" type comment).

And finally, since forum topics are just cck content types, you could disable the 'body' field and add a multiline cck text field as the body, then use content permissions to control access to that field.
