    Honest, hardworking, person who is willing to check post quality, someone who follows the rules of the site, is respectful. Makes threads as well as responds to others. Is helpful.

    Hopefully, a mod will be emotionally invested into the forum so if they see a problem poster, they can deal with it.

    Good point Beverly. Or if they can not deal with it, let someone know who can deal with it.

    Someone who will treat everyone with respect. I hate it when forum mods think that they are better than everyone just because they are part of the staff. That is a huge turnoff for me.

    This is my personal opinion on a mod or admin of a forum. Iprefer someone who acts like one of us. Just like in the office, when the boss
    joins in the camaraderie, you get comfortable and the intimidation vanishes. In
    a forum that intimidation is easy to overcome if the mod is engaging on the
    boards with his replies and even new threads just like any of us members.
