The role of a moderator is to help the Administrator in maintaining the site . He or she removes the spam messages ; traces the spammers to ban them ... Moderator also helps the members in site related matters ; controls the wars on the forums ; helps the new members in posting problems ; moves the messages to appropriate sections ...
