The biggest drawbacks I have come across so far is that it would make the Mods seem like Gods.
"Seem like"? What are you trying to say?
But you are Gods. ;)
I don't know if I would be in favor of such a cross-service power.
Personally, I like the idea, although, not being a mod, I can't say how I might handle it. That is, if it is even possible to pull something like that off without officially becoming a Microsoft Employee.
But I do like the idea that posting privileges in some forums (at least Optimatch) should be restricted to members with linked and non-banned (XBL or the forums) Gold accounts. IMO, discussing playlists should be limited to people who are willing to show that they are "walking the walk" when they say "I play a lot of _______" or "I think that this map/playlist is lacking, and I speak from experience". Non-linked accounts can spam, flame, and disrupt the discussions in Optimatch and they really have no "stake" in the matter.
Also, by having linked tags, the participants of those forums would be far less likely to result in rule breaking behavior such as insulting, or flaming.
I don't really go to the Optimatch Forum myself, but I can see how having this would vastly reduce the flaming and spamming I have seen when I do go there. I'm in favor. Keeping them read-only for all others.
As to the other forums (Halo 3, Halo 2) I am not so certain. People with accounts and no XBL should be able to interact on those topics, IMO.
I agree, while it may be filled it idiots, spamers, and idiot-spamers (Heh) the Halo: CE, PC, Two, and Three forums really should be kept public.
The file forums? If it were possible to have the forum sorted not by thread replies, but by recent downloads to a unique Xbox 360? In other words, replies don't bump, fresh downloads do. I would like that a lot.
So much Bumping there....It's insane....Agree.
So in all, I like that you are thinking globally. I like that you are seeing the potential ups and downs of a proposed system, and I really like that you are asking for and encouraging discussion. I too am eager to hear what other members think.

I absolutely support this idea (especially since Ghandi is now no longer a threat to accidently blacklisting us).
Am I the only one that sees the irony in that?
