> To ask was just a thought It's a perfectly fair question and i wouldn't argue strongly one way or the other if the policy of marking the moderator/admin status of posters were to change. Many, if not most, forums *do* publicly mark admins (but many do not distinguish between admins and moderators like this one does). > Do moderator's responses get moderated? Once *any* user has been flagged by an *admin* as "no longer moderated," their posts go through automatically, unmoderated. Setting of that flag happens during the moderation process: admins get a checkbox to toggle that. After that, an admin can delete *any* post, but a non-admin moderator cannot delete any posts except their own. An admin is free to remove the "no longer moderated" flag from a user at any time, which then causes that user's posts to once again be delayed for moderation.
