moderator group blacked out

[saw]

I don't seem to be able to add any members to the 'moderator' membergroup in the admin panel. Is there some trick I'm missing?

No, it's just that you can't add moderators to the group. Members in the default Moderator group are the local moderators that you have selected for each of your boards. This is what determines what extra permissions are given to local moderators of boards.

Thus you are only ever in this membergroup when you are inside a board you are a local moderator of. Anywhere outside of a board you are a local moderator of you are not in this group.

Here is the help text you get when clicking the ? text next to the group name:

The Moderator membergroup is a special membergroup. Permissions and settings assigned to this group apply to moderators but only on the boards they moderate. Outside these boards they're just like any other member.
