You see, an Admin has all rights while a forum mod would have just forum mod rights, meaning that an admin may have other duties to perform (such as deleting un-used images or dealing with vandals, for example) and the forum mod would be able to focus solely on the forums. Again, I did not say you didn't need forum mods.
