+
+In my picture:
+
+Users:
+ - ask and answer questions,
+ - help other users
+ - discuss forum matters (either brought up by users or administration)
+
+Moderators:
+ - help users along if they have questions with the forum (structure,
+rules, etc.)
+ - monitor threads for illegal contents, emerging conflicts, etc.
+ - talk to users who are breaking rules or misbehave (being offensive, etc.)
+ - move misplaced threads/posts
+ - edit posts to erase illegal contents (such as links to illegal
+sites, howtos for illegal operations, etc.)
+
+Admin:
+ - changes structure if needed
+ - promotes somebody to be moderator or fires a moderator (after
+discussion and consensus with the other moderators, of course)
+ - bans users (also after discussion with moderators)
+ - reports information/questions/problems to council and back.
+
+Of course when not acting as admin and moderators such people usually
+have to behave as normal users and do what users do. :)
