Doesn't have selective hearing

What else makes for a good moderator?

A good moderator moderates rather than dictates.

If I have been out for a few hours and come home and the kids have made a mess, I guess I can be selective about which mess should be cleaned up first, so I wonder if when the moderators come to work they feel the same way? They may just want to leave a bit of mess for someone else?

Understands the Aussie sense of humour, and it's not always' interpersonal'

A good avatar. I don't see them using one here, but they do on the US ebay site.

If they got rid of of post info and date registered we could have larger avi that could be seen like they used to be. They're so tiny now.

Here's a couple for one......

If they're a woman...maybe....

understands the differnce between debate and arguement

accepts correct terms for girl and boy bits (and other medical terms) because you know, we are all adults here

knows how to joke

Enters the odd conversation like underbat (i think it was) did at news years and not just to tell us off like little children

I could go on

Behave!

I would like them to use the ebay message system rather than the community one. Then you actually get the message when you can't access the boards.

I agree J, then unjust sanctions can be addressed without haveing to do the time for a mistaken sanction.

I think chuk hit it on the head. Sometimes they think posts are interpersonal when they are debating and yes, you have to be an adult to register so why be treated like children. Adult's opinions can differ and that's allowable because Australia has freedom of speech.
