What are Administrators?
Administrators control the entire board. They can determine every aspect of the board including: setting permissions, banning users, creating user groups, choosing moderators, etc. They also share all moderator capabilities in all the forums.
A forum administrator typically has the ability to edit, delete, move or otherwise modify any thread on the forum. Administrators also usually have the ability to close the board, change major software items, change global skins, modify the board, and ban, delete, or create members. Moderator privileges are often able to be delegated to other forum members. Moderators have a smaller subset of powers, which may include editing, deleting, and moving threads, mass pruning, warning members for offenses, and changing minor forum details.
