When you see under the forum description: forum led by: , it means only these people can moderate that forum (and admins, of course). Actually, even some admins are limited to their forum I think... Not sure if they appear as 'admin' though. But some people have admin powers in their zone forums to be able to manage sub-forums and user permissions within them. For example, I can only moderate in DCME forum, but my status appears as mod everywhere. So I can scare people. Want a ban?
