It's almost the same as InvisionFree's Multi-Moderation, but probably a little easier to understand.

I like some of the details and descriptions on which can be implicated into what can be good things. I think it is a little more useful than the multi mods on InvisionFree software. It is also a little more creative of something that could be used.

Good guide, descriptive and accurate ;)

Very good walk through. Although I don't like the way you centered the text, it disorients me a bit.
