Thanks for asking, it's basically meant to take some weight off of team's shoulders and introduce order, so everyone knows what they're doing and where. It's also meant to help the users, if you guys have any suggestion, issue or opinion on a given forum, you can let the appropriate mod know and they'll sort it for you, instead of contacting all the mods about the same thing.
Of course, if there's anything serious like spam, racism or some other nonsense, whoever is online and who can will do what's needed regardless, just we thought it'll make things a bit easier foral of us :)
