Webmaster
Webmaster
A webmaster is a person who maintains a website. For private, noncommercial websites, webmasters are often authors and Web designers rolled into one.
The webmaster is usually the person to contact for change requests to websites.
Administrator
An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. They differ from chat rooms in that messages are at least temporarily archived. Also, depending on the access level of a user and/or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible.
Forums have their own language; e.g. A single conversation is called a 'thread'. A forum is hierarchical or tree-like in structure: forum - subforum - topic - thread - reply.
Depending on the forum set-up, users can be anonymous or have to register with the forum and then subsequently log in in order to post messages. Usually you do not have to log in to read existing messages.
An Administrator is the person charged with setting up and defining a newsgroup, web group, mailing list, IRC channel, or web forum. The Administrator will then ask other people to help moderate their site.
Moderator
A moderator, on the Internet, mod for short, is a person who has "moderator privileges" and thus the technical ability to moderate a newsgroup, web group, mailing list, IRC channel, or web forum. A moderator is not the same as an administrator. Their powers and responsibilities typically only extend to:
- moderating discussions
- deleting inappropriate postings
- approving postings for going online
- editing postings to conform to the group's or forum's policies
- moving, splitting and merging postings
- helping users, especially newbies, with technical questions
- warning, banning and unbanning users
In forums, moderators can be assigned to the entire forum or only to specific sections.
There are also moderators in computer games.
