No doubt this has been explained elsewhere; but, if it has, I missed it.
Who are the Moderators? Are they community volunteers, new mandarins, or some lifeform bred for the purpose?

They are the people who read all the posts and remove anything which they consider to be 'dodgy' as laid out by Mark in the article above. In short the censors. They are necessary because of the BBC's fear of getting sued.

Some of the moderators are able to work from home too, which is nice. No catching buses in the rain.

How does one become a moderator?
