It might be impossible to use your extra field for the moderator due to the nature of how the system works. You would need extra SQL calls to get the extra field. The reason is, for example the threadposter is stored in the thread table. If you wanted the name you would have to modify the query to do a JOIN on another table. This will add a significant amount of processing to your system. It is possible but going to require hacking of the files and not just template changes.
