The only difference between a player and a moderator in-game is they have a "Forum Moderator" title in their player profile. They don't have access to anything a player cannot access in-game, hence why they do not appear on the staff list. For all intents and purposes they are only a player.

They volunteer to help out in the forums and don't get any other perks. Yes they volunteer for a thankless job and are held to a higher standard in-game by the community even though they are only players.
