What are moderators and how does this work?

Just trying to figure out the system here.

Moderators are simply certain regular posters who have been asked by PoliticalForum to help "moderate" the board. We are to watch for board violations......to merge similar threads when we think it's necessary....to delete posts when they clearly violate board rules......to send "private messages" to posters who violate board rules.....and to consult with other Moderators on posters and issues relating to the board.

Few posts get deleted and moderators on both sides of the political spectrum go out of their way to try and be fair. Our focus is to allow good, clean political debate.
