Attempting to use table.remove requires an index(a number), not string value.

If your table is a dictionary: Mods[player] = nil
If your table is an array:

for i, moderator in next, Mods do
    if moderator == player then
        table.remove(Mods, i)
        break 
    end
end

Hey,
Any Ideas How To Save The Table?

You should look into data stores. When you have all of that set up you can simply use UpdateAsync to save the table.

Why use next on an array instead of ipairs (or even just table.find)?

I have a bad habit of using next() every time. ipairs() would be recommended(or your other suggestion, the newer functions from the global table).
