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

the example you gave in association to your dictionary reference talks only of '-'

1. Being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme: a moderate price.
2. Not violent or subject to extremes; mild or calm; temperate: a moderate climate.
3.
1. Of medium or average quantity or extent.
2. Of limited or average quality; mediocre.
4. Opposed to radical or extreme views or measures, especially in politics or religion.


n.

One who holds or champions moderate views or opinions, especially in politics or religion.

in my opinion a moderator should make sure activity exists (i.e. post = '+') as well as do stuff behind the scenes (i.e. delete posts, move posts, close threads = '-') but of course this argument could go on forever as with us all being admins the idea of what a moderator should do will differ from person to person.
