Where in my post i am saying that moderating means only '-'??

Moderating means make sure the community is going according to the rules set, and where possible things run as smooth as possible. Sometimes you do that with some silent diplomacy, sometimes in public.

PS Try looking up what 'moderating' means:

v. mod?er?at?ed, mod?er?at?ing, mod?er?ates (md-rt)
v. tr.
To lessen the violence, severity, or extremeness of.
To preside over: She was chosen to moderate the convention.

v. intr.
To become less violent, severe, or extreme; abate.
To act as a moderator.

Not sure if we always succeed on all those points, but be sure that we are trying.
