What a moderator grant is
Moderation is granted by scope, not as a single site-wide role. You can give a member moderation authority over a specific:
- Forum

A member can hold grants in some scopes and not others. This is separate from forum ownership, which is its own thing. See Resigning as Forum Owner and Admin: Forum Owner Reassignment.
Adding a moderator
- Click Add Moderator.
- Search for the member.
- Choose the scope (the forum, category, file area, or game platform).
- Save.
Reviewing applications
The Applications tab lists members who applied to moderate a forum. Open one to approve or deny it. See Moderator Applications.
