Moderators are members who represent a particular group. They are not the bosses of the groups, nor are they anything better or worse than anyone else. Their job is to manage, understand and be responsive to the group. The moderators are the first point of contact when it comes to learning about, helping or otherwise contacting the group. This applies to the group's own members as well as to other groups from outside. To make it easier for a moderator, there are special groups where moderators can exchange information and help each other.
Moderators exist in different groups and of course they all have the same rights and can therefore exchange information together. However, in order for the power limitation to work, a member may only be a moderator in one type of group. So the moderator of a local group can only be a moderator in one local group and is not allowed to be a moderator in the surrounding local groups. The same applies to local topic groups, language groups and professional groups.

Tasks of the moderator:
    - Contact person and representative for own group and others such as orga, topic groups.
    - Is elected for one year, from 1.1. - 31.12.
