Quick question - if already answered, please, direct me to the link, if possible - Do the Jolt Moderation/Administration have control over their forums and our NS section of their forums? Or are the NS moderators/admin the only ones in charge here?

I saw in the following thread (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=341072) that PanZer, a Jolt Admin, posted in our threads... I thought only are members could do so, and I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful to their control of the site, but if this is strictly NS and Max is paying to use their server, shouldn't his people, and those playing his game, be the only ones who have access to this forum?

Also, it looks like Myrth edited his post in that thread, and PanZer overrode that - just in jest, of course - but who is to say that the Jolt mods could or couldn't come in and take over?

Is their any sort of separation of powers going on there or what-not? I know Cog, a few days ago, did some modding in the regular Jolt forums and was told by the Jolt Admins he couldn't be doing it... does the same apply to the NS forums in regards to to the Jolt mods/admin?

Only the Jolt admins have any kind of powers here, and I very much doubt they'll ever use them. In the example you pointed out, the above user had double posted, so I responded to PanZer's comment by deleting the double post.
Similarly, although we have powers over the whole of Jolt, we're not Jolt Moderators, so we leave their forums alone.
Also, Max doesn't pay a penny to Jolt.

[Emphasis mine.]

...so we leave their forums alone.

/me looks sheepish and mutters: "...that is, when we're not being overzealous and screwing up as a result. Pardon my language."

Arrrr! <raises up pitchfork and torch> Don't worry Cog, you've got our support...just say the word and we'll start the revolution.

Ah, all right, Myrth; thanks! I was just curious.
