how anyone can become mod of a specific board? what mod does when they become mod and how the interface on this forum look like after becoming mod?
For many years I wanted to know what the account would look like when you are a mod. I haven't found any screenshot yet, but it seems that the situation is not much different because when I had the ability to add members to my whitelist, all I got was whitelist bottom at the of each account.
There is a hidden board that only admins/mods can access and the ability to delete some posts based on board, that's almost the only difference.
That's right, there are some additional buttons which allow to work with posts and topics and some additional pages which allow to do some other things like reacting on reports, managing groups, banning, etc. Depending on rights of exact mod group on an exact forum. I'm not a mod in here but I've seen different mod interfaces on different forums including based on SMF.
But main things are the same. Mods are the same users as others, they just have some options of making the place cleaner for everyone.
