Need of Moderators
All active message forums need constant supervision to keep content and discussions stay productive and within the topic or guidelines of the site.
Moderators help manage as well as guide the community in a productive way which makes a big impact on how the site looks and reads.
Moderators delete comments/pages, move and reorganize content and pages on the site, approve/decline members/blogs submission, ban disruptive users from the site to make sure that the user content is regulated, inoffensive, presentable and attractive to users/visitors.
Site moderation is basically keeping a watchful eye on a website and "organizing, reorganizing and cleaning up" as necessary.
