What makes a good Moderator? (2 Viewers)

More often, they seem to recognize that being a mod isn't some promotion or elected office. Rather, that there's a responsibility involved where you can no longer pick sides among forum members the way you could as any non-mod forum member. And you can't be joining in flame wars or insults of other posters. And that you have to show restraint when others do things that might personally piss you off. And you have to be willing to bust the people who were/are your best friends here should they cross the line.
Too often I've seen posters here treat the idea of becoming a moderator like "Cool! I want to be a police officer so I can carry a gun wherever I want and get to shoot stuff. Wheee!
" When the reality is completely the opposite.

So basically what you're saying here is 'Jeeks' is the worst moderator ever.
Moderators should not be restricted of participation to any debate,
because they are valuable members and their opinions are needed,
they should be active members, IMO the most active members
and as long as they dont abuse their power and keep their bias on check,
the balance is guaranteed,
Juventuz seem to have this balance most of the times,
our moderators spend a large part of their lifes here and they do try to be fair,
(and dont forget they dont get paid for that
)
i am pleased of their work so far and i understand that they are only human,
bound to make some mistakes too,
some quick assumptions, a misunderstanding, a little bias towards a friend/foe
in a bad moment, an emotional, tired situation can give birth to an accident/missjudgement and the unfair punishment of a fair member/action.
I would only recommend the direct warn using the valuable pm button,
acting like a raging God and punish a member without a question,
is not IMHO the wise choice in every situation,
i dont speak of tolerance, grave mistakes known to everyone should be punished right away,
but in some cases when a known member who never caused any trouble before,
should be given the chance (at least) to drop an arguement or explain himself,
just to avoid any misunderstandings,
moderators esp when they are about to expell a member from the community should be more carefull, i understand the need to act immediately, but everybody worths a pm IMO, just a few seconds of compliance,
i ve seen and experianced a few unfair bans, 3-4 valuable members left us because of these and thats summs the only "wrong'' mod actions i regret...
particularly on this very matter of double accounts,
its known that it is "illegal", it has been already discussed many times
and the choice is made known to everybody,
esp a member as "ancient" as Respaul should have known/noticed that...
