It would be nice to output thi list of forum moderators on the front forum page.
Like it is done on other forum engines:

subforum: blablabla
blablabla
subforum moderators: user1, user2, ...

but perhaps this request should be directed to the advanced_forum module?

There's already an issue here: #319232: HowTo: Add Forum Access Moderators to Advanced Forum . It was closed last summer when I thought the moderation module would be coming faster. Since that's still a ways off, I'd be willing to consider it if someone provides a patch, preferably with minimal code just making an API call to FA. I don't want any SQL calls to FA's tables in AF.

Fixed as far as FA is concerned. Massaging the Forums Overview page goes beyond what FA should do.

#109924: List moderators in forums listing should give you the information that you need to do this yourself at the theming level. Or reopen the AF issue that Michelle mentioned, if you're willing to participate there (thanks, Michelle!).

Ok, here it goes. I do not have much time now, so I am doing these things slowly, and my code might be clumsy, but this list is working at my forum.
Here is the solution:

1) The task of the moderator submodule is only to switch
variable_set('forum_access_provide_moderators_template_variable', TRUE);
when being turned on and to FALSE when being turned off.

2) The default theme should call in the beginning 

 $vars=array();
 $vars['forums']=$forums;
 forum_access_preprocess_forum_list($vars);

If the submodule is off, this function is save and does not consume time.

3) After forum description insert this:

    <?php
            
                $moderators=$forum->forum_access_moderators;
                $moderator_output=array();
                if (sizeof($moderators)>0) {
                    foreach ($moderators as $uid => $muser) {
                        $moderator_output[]='<a href="/user/'.$uid.'">'.$muser->name.'</a>';
                    };
                    echo('<div class="moderator-list">'. format_plural(count($moderators_links), 'Moderator:', 'Moderators:'));
                    $output=implode(', ',$moderator_output);
                    echo(' '. $output .'</div>');
                }
                
            ?>

4) Some css styling? (not done yet)

Have you tried putting that line into the settings.php file? I'm not sure it'll work, it's just an idea.

You could certainly use the Devel module to set this variable, either through the variable editor or the Execute PHP function.

It looks good on your site. I don't completely understand your instructions, but I guess a themer would, and I don't know whether there might be an easier way...

Comments are welcome!

I've set that variable manually.
And it was an idea of Michelle to have a "moderation" submodule that would allow to switch moderators displaying on and off. Hence it seems reasonable to put setting of that variable there.

BAH! I've just understood that this issue belongs also to the forum access.
Let's close it, I am copying the comment to the issue at Advanced Forum.
