Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'automated' describes how the 'moderator' operates (by machines rather than a person). A B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a program or system that moderates content, since modifier + noun compounds like this are common and cross-linguistically transparent.
Etymology
Automated moderator creates the image of a machine guard: automated means a machine doing tasks on its own and a moderator is a person who keeps order in a group. So imagining a robot watching an online chat and removing bad messages helps explain why the term means 'a program that watches and manages discussions' today.
