"Moderators are volunteers and fellow Bethesda fans chosen from the community by the Administrators. Moderators are designated by a "moderator" logo under their profile name. Their names will appear in green at the bottom of threads and forums they are currently viewing."

Thus they do no speak on behalf of Bethesda or Zenimax: "The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of this bulletin board."

Pluto isn't a moderator, he's an administrator.
