Just a moderator ...
It depends on the company how their mods relate to the company as a whole, some mods will be (very) low level employees who are there (mostly) to keep discussions civil whereas other companies will let active community members become mods.
On most (corporate) forums the importance of messages depends on who is giving them:
- VP of Marketing
- Developers
- Community Manager
- Community Representative
- Paid Mod
- Community Mod
If a mod says something which doesn't seem to fit with the corporate direction, or statements made by (just about) any other member of the company, then you should probably ignore the mod.
