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." 7  out of 7 found this valuable. Do you?

"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. "
Yeah I took this from the page and admins do this too.

Moderators cannot do everything Administrators can do. There's quite a lot of things that Admins can do that Moderators can't. Most of the site settings are available only to Administrators.

Actually that's not true.

Administrators can do more than Moderators,but Creators are the same as Admins.

Look at the user permission chart.

Moderators can use all of the editing tools, and ban and promote members. Administrators have access to the site settings. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I think moderators are a really imporntant part of wetpaint sites and to all of u people that think moderators aren't imporntant, you better look at the things moderators can do compared to what adminastrators can do and think again! 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Some people think that being a mod is so troublesome. Is there any privilege/benefit of becoming one? Do you find this valuable?
