    He was performing a task of some sort that only Mods can perform.

    Actually, I didn't think that non Mods ever saw that.

    Ok - I could have figured that out myself

    I was kind of picturing him standing between two opposing "posters" that were about to go postal...

    It's top secret shush-shush business.


    Hack, non-mods see that while mods see the actual moderation action.

    He could have been doing any number of things like dealing with threads in the mod queue, performing some edits, or even banning someone.

    I would define it as "putting the cap back on the bottle".

    Just to satisfy your curiosity, I was either moving a thread to the correct forum, or deleting a "bump" post. Nowhere near as exciting as what you imagined!

    Let me explain. Super Moderators are such wonderful people, they aren't actually human, just angels trapped inside a human's body. Super Moderators already had specila powers before getting that title
    But that's a secret, and no mortal are actually allowed to know that knowledge

    Re: What does MODERATING mean?

    We should start a "Moderator May" month - where everyone gets moderator status for all of May. Sure we may be able to sticky the Golden Chair thread, lock the entire Classic VB and PHP forums due to "unnecessary performance concerns" and edit each others posts into oblivion... But you know we'd be more mature than that.

    Moderating is a term reserved only for use in hostile environments. Suits VBF quite well
