It's the highest level role that members can have on the site.   Basically - your responsibility is to make sure everyone here has a safe and enjoyable stay, no matter how you do it. My responsibilities should be to ensure the other staff have the tools to do their jobs.   For example: I've created an area for staff where you can see who's profiles have changed or been added, what events haven't been checked, etc etc.  You also have control over the forums - so in general day-to-day reading of the forums, you remove anything that isn't posted in a friendly manner.   You can also change users passwords, disable/enable accounts and profiles, ban/unban IP addresses, delete photographs and set a user's "best photo" - plus more.   There's really no minimum time constraints - just as much as you can.  Basically, whilst using the site in the normal way - you have the ability to remove anything unsuitable etc.  Whilst viewing profiles, make sure there are no profanities or naked pictures etc. Whilst reading the forums, delete things that aren't good for the site or members.   See where this is going?  :-)   But - the bigger the team, the less time is required from each moderator and the more chance we have of catching malicious activity sooner (Thus ensuring a safer and more pleasant stay for all users)
