In answer to your post using ubbthreads 7.5.3
Moderators work the same as in classic for moderating forums.
You can allow moderators access to the control panel but they are pretty much limited to member management. They can ban a member, Resend passwords and change several user settings. They don't have access to PM's or other moderators or admins.
On the subject of PM's the only person that can access them is .
1. Whoever has access to the MYSQL tables.
2. Admins only have the ability to become a member in the member management area of the control panel. Then that person could view PMs the normal method a user has.
As far as passwords nobody can see a password as it is encrypted
Like I believe I said before you can setup a demo at this site for a couple of days to see these options for yourself.
