Forum moderators: how many types are there and what do they do?

Question

I've heard of mods, global mods, super mods. I'm pretty sure I know what regular mods are supposed to do, but what about those other two? And are there more types of mods? Can someone describe what they're supposed to do?

Answer 1

It depends on what forum you're talking about. Most forums just have admins who can do everything and moderators who can only moderate posts.  

Answer 2

It all depends on what you are talking about whether is is a forum or whatever. usually super moderator is classified as admin which can edit the forums, and moderator can only edit posts and edit users.
