Quick question… I noticed the little shield icon ages ago which appears next to someone who is a moderator, are there specific circumstances when this may change? For example, I have both admin and moderator access, the latter being granted initially. Yet the little shield just states moderator, …

I believe it is only shown when Is Moderator is checked. Admins either also need that checked (to get the shield) or should use a custom title. IIRC, the reason behind that was to shield admins from people constantly seeking them out versus using flagging.

If you look on the about page you can see who is admin and who is merely a moderator.
