There was a thread on this a month or so ago where I listed a bunch of names and why. Although I do have my favorite(s), they pretty much all boil
down to the following:
Anyone who:
1). Is nice, approachable, down to earth, and doesn't have ego-issues due to their mod status. Basically, those who remember what it was like to be a
member and who treat us with respect instead of throwing their weight around.
2). Doesn't let their personal convictions, beliefs, and biases as a member interfere with their actions while in 'staff mode.' I don't care what
anyone believes or how strongly they believe it as long as they don't use that to moderate.
3). Those who use their position to help the members or to chastise them
gently when necessary while treating them as adults. Not to rule over
them as some intimidating authority figure with a big stick.
4). Has a sense of humor and can be playful but also be able to tighten their belt and be professional when necessary.
5). Those who take the time to respond to U2U's when we have a question or need help. I very rarely reach out for assistance or ask questions and
usually only do so as a last resort or with something that is truly bothering me or something that is out of my hands to resolve or fix by myself. So
it's nice to actually be heard and answered in the rare event I have an issue.
That's about it. Just be cool, friendly, unbiased, and approachable. Those are my 'favorite mods.'
