In BT2 world, we're going to do things a bit differently than maybe what you experienced on BT1.

Mods = Helpers to remove objectionable postings, spam, etc. Help work with members on posts that violate some community guideline or the like. Not anonymous -- these are just ordinary members who have a little more power to help out in the community.

Admins = The folks who help lead the community and moderation team, providing advice, guidance and action when needed to address member issues. If a member is ever banned (and remember, this is a fairly rare event in my world), it's done with majority agreement amongst the entire moderation team.

And when I say "moderation team," it's just that -- a group of folks who agree to work together as a team to help keep the community running smoothly. We will remove anyone from the team who abuses their position of trust and responsibility. The moderation team will be known and accountable for their actions -- we don't hide beyond any anonymous logins here.
