Glossary Entry: Moderator

Running a website or forum can be a task for one person, so frequently there are lower-ranking administrators appointed to help keep the peace and move things along. These assistants are known as Moderators, and usually have the power to close threads*, remove offending posts, and may be capable of kicking or banning repeat offenders.
