Moderators exist to enforce the rules in which the administrators have set out for the forums. The members do not obey moderators under a dictatorship, but they do obey moderators to en extent. That's what they're for! It's not as complicated as you make it seem. If I, for example, asked Billy to reduce his siggy size because it spanned the whole page, Billy should listen to me because I am a moderator. A dictatorship (totalitarian rule, whatever you think this is), is when I tell Billy to go to Starbucks and run me over a cup of coffee. See?
