[Freeswitch-users] Setting up Conference with Moderator

This is true, BUT it is more flexible than it looks.

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_conference#.3Ccaller-controls.3E

The caller controls can have a key execute a dialplan extension:
execute_application
You can set a channel var on the moderator prior to joining to the conf.
When the extenion is called, you can check the channel var for
moderator and act accordingly.

Or you can send an event and monitor with an app over ESL and do
whatever you want there (probably using the same channel var trick for
knowing who is a mod or not).
