Right, very attentive. You think that the responsibilities of a forum moderator is limited to reviewing content? Sure, that is one of the main aspects of being a moderator but not their sole purpose by far. I guess this is why people like yourself aren't dealing with players of this game more often.
How would an FAQ intergrate new players into the community? I made it into the community by logging on, talking to someone, making a friend and then making more friends through that friend, and so on.

And don't FAQs provide a good service to those in need by answering questions? Which is, you know, their job?

If moderators wish to contribute more to the community, then they are free to do so, much how I did when I was a moderator (Oh yeah ;D). However there is no set rule which makes them do that kind of stuff, they are there to do their job and nothing more.
