YTMND Front Page Moderators
Front page mods have the ability to mark sites as safe or not safe for work, along with the ability to flag a site for review or kill the site due to violation of YTMND Terms of use. Front Page Moderators do not have to power to select the sites that show up in "Moderator Favorites", due to the way the Favorite system works, only Max has this ability. Front Page Moderators also do not have the ability to ban users or change votes/views.
On December 25 2006, Max announced that there will be 200 new moderators in the new year. There is a new Moderator Control Panel in development, so many aspects of moderation which are only in the control of Max at the moment may be passed down to other moderators.
YTMND Ventrilo Moderators
YTMND Ventrilo Moderators have special privelages within the YTMND Ventrilo server, hosted by fyrestorm. They can create, lock, and delete channels, and can kick and ban users and their subnets, along with a few other privileges.
Fyrestorm gives moderator status to whomever he sees fit. Usually, they are non-faggy long-time ventrilo users who have probably donated to keep the ventrilo up. For more information on YTMND Ventrilo, including a full list of moderators, see here
Known fact that 95% of the moderators are total assholes.
