Frequently Asked Question #332

A moderator is a personal account that can manage entries in a community's moderation queue. When a community has moderated posting, entries are submitted to the moderation queue, where a moderator can then approve or reject them. The moderation queue can be accessed through the Community Management page under the "Awaiting Moderation" column.

Moderators do not have the ability to change any settings in the community or to delete entries once they have been approved from the moderation queue, but they can approve or deny membership requests, delete and screen comments, and add/remove tags.

Please note: LiveJournal users often use the term "moderator" when they are actually referring to a community maintainer.
