As far as I can tell, all moderation is done via the "Moderation Control Panel," which is described at <<a href="http://www.phpbb.com/support/documentation/3.0/moderatorguide/moderator_mcp.php" target="_blank">http://www.phpbb.com/support/documentation/3.0/moderatorguide/moderator_mcp.php</a>>.<br>
