Why You Need Moderators
Why do sites need moderators?
Moderators help manage and guide the community in addition to creating content for the site. Moderators can delete pages, lock pages from being edited, and move and reorganize pages on the site. Since those changes can make a big impact on how the site looks and reads, it's best if only those who are highly invested in the site serve as moderators. Moderators can also promote members of the community to new roles, and ban disruptive users from the site. Find out more about moderating Wetpaint sites in the Moderating Guide.How do I pick a moderator?
Don't rush to make just anyone a moderator. Look for someone that has a special interest in the workings of the site. Look for members that show consistency, responsibility, and knowledge in the topic of your site. To learn how to promote someone to moderator, go to the Change User Permissions page in the FAQ section.Tips For Moderators
Editing and Contributing - As a moderator, you will act as both a writer and editor. Fresh and reliable content should be added to your site on a regular basis and it will sometimes be up to you to provide the bulk of that content. What makes content stand out as quality work? When it is original, well-written and interesting to visitors. Visit the Build Better Content Guide and Contributing Guide for more information and a chance to discuss ideas with fellow moderators.
Moderating/Monitoring - Being a good moderator means you should regularly patrol your site for problems and errors. Also, you should be a regular in the community in order to encourage ongoing participation.
Visit the Site Moderating Guide for more information and a chance to discuss ideas with fellow moderators.

What is so special about Moderators? Wetpaint seems to love them and put them below Administrators! Administrators do more than Moderators on the sites I've been to. From what I've seen, it looks like Moderator's just a way of saying "lower-ranked Admin."
