Moderators

Granting moderator powers to members of your community is an effective way to manage discussion without additional administrators. Moderators can perform board level actions such as copy, move, delete, edit and close topics. You can assign moderator powers that are for the entire board or just specific forums and you have different options on how to display their names on your community.

Key Information

• If you are an administrator at an ezboard you cannot be listed as a moderator – but you can be listed as a Forum Host – and displayed as a moderator.
