Moderators help keep discussion on topic, the board free of spam and PG13...

Moderators for the different Forums can be different people, while Admin is a global setting.

To expand on that:

Moderators can close threads, edit posts, delete threads, Move/Archive threads, Open threads, make announcements, send out emails i think too...

Administrators can do all that plus everything else the UBB will let you do down to changing/adding new forums, banning users, and the colors and the actually settings of the forum's themselves...
