That quote comes with linkage to the source which is all I gots. My interpretation? Some fun mixed into the infodump.

i invoked you only because you are the only mod i can remember how to spell correctly (and we know that summoning needs correct spelling).

Ah, I actually have been encouraging people to "invoke the name of Serack" for WoJ purposes for quite a while before I became a curator since it's something that people were doing anyways (I flat out say to in the beginning of my "Compilation" linked in my sig).
We have lots of people around here who are generally respected to various levels for various reasons, and there are several tiers of mod staff, the curators (of which I am a member) being the newest addition.
Lets see from memory we basically have 3 tiers of the moderation staff (which I barely consider myself a part of because I don't really have any authority outside the WoJ and DFRC sections). These tiers can be noted by the number of Bars (and the color has some meaning too, check here for Prisc's explanation) over their avatar.
The thing is, other than some people respecting me as knowing a lot bout "WoJ" and a select few of the mods/admins being actual beta readers (who are rather stringent about not sharing beta exclusive info at the threat of their lives), we are mostly just fans like you and not exactly "authorities" on the material.
That said I'll say which mods are which from memory here:
* Administration: (6 bars over avatar)
* Iago: Forum owner, Fan of the series from before they were published, and publisher of the DFRPG
* Priscellie: Also the Timeline chick, lots of good things to say about her including her amazing cosplay.
* "Senior Council:" (5 bars over avatar)
* Ashton: Mythic Ogre like figure who isn't seen much but apparently can and does serve as the Heavy if necessary -retired
* Micky Fynn: Nice guy, also a writer (although mostly technical I gather), frequently involved in the writing and media sections of our forums
* Blaze: Really, really, nice woman who was most recently added to the "Senior Council"
* Barkeepers: Tier added in 2010 around the time of the Changes release because the forums had some growing pains and Administration needed some lower tier moderation help. (4 bars over avatar)
* Panesgrey: Ex military from not recent times, considerate and educated poster. Awesome at moderating with humor and well placed sarcasm
* Shecky: One of the forums most prolific posters, degrees in 2 languages with the appropriate snootiness to show for it (yet self aware of it and not actually a snob ;) ) sometimes a little quick to defend his friends (especially Jim) but a really nice guy (on the forums and in person). The barkeep you will probably see around the most.
* Myyrdn Eopia: Nice young man who is frequently quite busy, but he is the mack daddy when it comes to Codex Alera info.
* Curators: A relatively new addition to the "moderation" staff they only have moderation authority of the new "Dresden Files Resource Collection" Although to facilitate their task they do have some admin capabilities that allow them to "Curate" I.E. move the appropriate topics to the DFRC (4 bars over avatar)
* Serack: See the avatar. I like making lists and stuff in an attempt to collate info for theorizing... and I'm the one that lobbied for the DFRC in the first place
* knnn: Has some pretty famous theories and helped hash out the mechanics of the DFRC
* Elegast: Amazing at organizing and formatting longstanding theories into references that new members can find to see what has already been hashed out
* TheCuriousFan (TCF): He does a lot of what I do, but in the wee hours of the morning :)
* Quantus: Added to the Curators 10/15/15, great poster and working to help with revamping the WoJ section
Bonus material:
These are a few of the members that have stuck out to me as significant: (note: this is mostly geared to theorizing)
tweaked 10/15/15
jimbutcher: What it says on the box
Veteran All-Stars:
* Ms Duck: Ms Duck is quackers. Frequently posts from a Cell phone, which makes it hard to read some of her posts, but she is not afraid to post some way out there theories well before there is any decent supporting evidence and has been amazingly close to the mark on a lot of them. Beware the Harry+Mavra sex poetry.
* neurovore aka "neuro": Jim himself has called some of neuro's theorizing paranoid on a CIA analyst level. Some great theorizing
Great Posters:
* Cenphx: I haven't seen this poster around as much the past few months, but I remember intellectually perking up on several of his/her topics.
* wyltok: Doesn't start all to many topics, but always seems to have excellent input. (introduced me to the terms Doylist vs. Watsonian {Tvtropes warning}, and occasionally annoys me by nudging me towards the Tvtropes vortex)
* 123456789blaaa AKA, Count: I only noticed this guy in the past year or so, but he's impressed me.
* Second Aristh: I've been impressed with many of this guy's posts, Plus I just like calling him 2πr because of his name + avatar
* GrandPanjandrum: I haven't read much of this guy's stuff in a while, but I remember being impressed.
* Griffyn612: Goes on hiatus when sample chapters are released to avoid spoilers, but when he's active he's got lots of amazing input.
Honorable Mentions:
* Tami Seven: Prolific topic starter nowadays, IMO some chaff here, but some great ideas too. Plus, all the topics mean plenty of discussion which keeps the forums alive :)
* wizard nelson: Only being able to post from a PS3 handicaps how nelson can post, and he frequently posts some out their stuff, but also has some interesting and innovative theories too.
* Richard_Chilton: My go-to DFRPG wonk. Good theorizing posts too.
* Foxed: My go-to lovecraftian lore wonk
* raidem: It's because of Time Travel!
* Many many interesting characters who spend a lot of time in the bar socializing (something I personally don't do a great deal of)
* Many, Many other posters who have contributed so many awesome ideas to the overall atmosphere and theorizing that takes place on these forums
List of inactive posters that I really liked to read when they were active:
* AcornArmy: Well thought out Theories, hardly ever posts any more.
* LogicMouseLives (aka LML): Lots of great input. Very compassionate. Was very good at providing quick quotes from just about any imaginable DF scene
* Piotr1600: Fellow electrical engineer. Always payed close attention to his posts.
* Landing: It's been forever since I've seen this guy post, but I remember really liking his posts.
* lovejoy69: Spectacularly kind and thoughtful poster with good insight on many topics

Everyone probably already knows this, but we can probably add jimbutcher to the list -- yes, it is the real Jim Butcher, and many of us routinely look at his profile to see if he posted anything new. He has 7 blue squares under his posts, and he deserves every one of them.

Duh. I was struggling with the fact that I mentioned only a few people and couldn't come up with any others that really stuck out (there are others that stick out to me, but that aren't as prolific, or haven't been on as much lately so I didn't add them). So I was wondering how I would respond if a bunch of "nominies for merit" came up... THAT one obviously belongs though.
I think you will like the qualifying notes I added :)
