The moderators (short singular form: "mod") are users (or employees) of the forum who are granted access to the posts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Post) and threads (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Thread) of all members (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Memeber) for the purpose of moderating discussion (similar to arbitration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitration)) and also keeping the forum clean (neutralizing spam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28electronic%29) and spambots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spambot) etc.).[19] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#cite_note-Administrator_seeking_moderators_to_control_spam_abuse.-20) Because they have access to all posts and threads in their area of responsibility, it is common for a friend of the site owner to be promoted to moderator for such a task. Moderators also answer users' concerns about the forum, general questions, as well as respond to specific complaints. They also can do anything to lend a helping hand to a user in need.[20] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#cite_note-PlaystationForumNewUserGuide-21) Moderators themselves may have ranks: some may be given mod privileges over only a particular topic or section, while others (called 'global' or 'super') may be allowed access anywhere. Common privileges of moderators include: deleting, merging, moving, and splitting of posts and threads, locking, renaming, stickying (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Thread) of threads, banning, suspending, unsuspending, unbanning, warning the members, or adding, editing, removing the polls of threads.[21] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#cite_note-vBFAQModAdmin-22) 'Junior Modding' or 'Backseat Modding' can refer negatively to the behavior of ordinary users who take a moderator-like tone in criticizing other members.
Essentially, it is the duty of the moderator to manage the day-to-day affairs of a forum or board as it applies to the stream of user contributions and interactions. The relative effectiveness of this user management directly impacts the quality of a forum in general, its appeal, and its usefulness as a community of interrelated users.

(short form: "admin") manage the technical details required for running the site. As such, they may promote (and demote) [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Member"]members (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Internet_forum&action=edit§ion=12) to moderators (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Moderator), manage the rules, create sections and sub-sections, as well as perform any database (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database) operations (database backup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup) etc.). Administrators often also act as moderators (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#Moderator). Administrators may also make forum-wide announcements, or change the appearance (known as the skin) of a forum.[21] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_moderator#cite_note-vBFAQModAdmin-22)
The term prune used extensively in administration panels is synonymous with delete or remove. The term comes from pruning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruning), the practice of removing diseased, non-productive, or otherwise unwanted portions from a plant.
