That is all. Thanks.
The venomous dorsal spines. 
Moderators can move, close and delete threads, edit posts and titles and have access to at least some of the private forums. Administrators can do all that, as well as post announcements, ban and unban members, make name changes and other modifications to registrations, and effect changes to the look and feel of the boards themselves. There may be other specific differences unique to this board–the above is based on my experience with other message boards (as a mod, an admin or both) and my reading of the information available on the vBulletin website.
Moderators moderate the boards. Administrators both moderate the boards and administrate the boards. And are paid twice as much.
You get two coffee cups?
Yep. 2 times 0 is still 0.
OTOH, Administrator uniforms have braids on the shoulders.
And Ed gets four stripes, and collar insignia in the form of a gold turkey (à la Signorino)?
(Cecil, of course, is above any rank markings, even when he lets himself be seen. Usually, of course, he uses his mind clouding powers to keep anyone from noticing him, as he has at most Dopefests.)
Geez, doesn’t the Chicago Reader pay anybody?
I suspect this may be a whoosh, but Cecil goes to Dopefests?
That strange gust of wind was, as you expected, a whoosh. My assertion was –
If Cecil goes to Dopefests, he uses his special abilities to keep from being noticed, and consequently lionized, there. Only he can say whether he actually does – and I’m not holding my breath expecting him to post to this! 
Darn.
I’ve heard that Cecil has gone to a few Dopefests using my identity. I don’t mind it at all. He’s not as boring or foolish as I am, so my overall image is burnished a bit. 
Recent promulgations notwithstanding…
Whoa, so he’s like Darth Vader? “See to it that they’re found, Administrator xash”…
On the OP, the way I explain it is that moderators can do things to posts and threads, while administrators can do things to members and fora. Both, of course, can do things to goats.
AFAIK, Ed Zotti, Jerry Davis, Lynn Bodoni, and TubaDiva are paid.
And, of course, the hamsters get all the food they can eat.
But who gets to wear the codpiece?
Jerry Davis?
It rotates. It’s like an employee of the month type thing.
He’s registered on the Board with the username, jdavis. He’s the tech guy who installs and maintains the software and keeps the hamsters, errrr…server, running properly. He doesn’t post much.
