I just have one question how do you know if its a second account if they use another email adress

We have multiple ways of determining whether or not more than one account is operated by the same person.

what is a moderator

A moderator is a member who has been granted the ability to manage, edit, and remove content on the site as necessary in order to ensure that the rules are followed.

To quote the section of the who does what here FAQ article about this:

Moderators (Lieutenants, Samurai / Ronin)

Be true to the thought of the moment and avoid distraction. Other than continuing to exert yourself, enter into nothing else, but go to the extent of living single thought by single thought.

- Yamamoto Tsunetomo

 

Moderators are the primary defense line against whatever is thrown at us. They have the ability to roam across the entire site, answering reports and keeping an eye on user behavior. Moderators also work on moderating blogs, status updates, and user accounts, as well as topic moderation and section responsibility. All moderators are 'global', in the sense that they are capable of moderating any section whatsoever. That said, all moderators have a section of the forum that they focus on, either because they have a personal interest in that section, or because they are incredibly active there.

 

Moderators have access over the warning system as well as being capable of hiding and editing posts/topics when necessary. They are responsible for keeping their sections polished by dealing with arguments when they arise or (more ideally) before they arise, tweaking tags and topic titles to better match the content of a topic or to correct grammar errors, proactively prowling their sections for things that have not yet been reported, issuing warnings to rule breakers, and dropping trains on trolls when they appear. They are also capable of moderating the blogging system and keeping an eye on status updates.

Is there some sort of fund set aside or something?

Money donated to MLP Forums covers recurring costs related to the upkeep of the site. Any money that is not used a particular month is set aside for when it may need to be used in the future.
