Should forum moderators get involved in thread discussions only in an independent way or should they still keep on their moderator hat when doing so?

By "only in an independent way", do you mean "only as non-moderating parties"?

We should respect MM for his discreet and judicious contributions.

I have no problem with MM's moderating, on this forum.

Should a moderator be entitled to an opinion?

Just curious!

Should moderators be openly discriminated against?

Should openly discussing moderators' roles be taboo?

Which qualities should a person show if he wants to be "picked", or put himself up as, a moderator?

And, Jamie, do you think I'd make a good forum moderator?

Interesting questions, Molly.

1. No, it'd be very inspiring indeed. Any stimuli (other than questions)?

2. Moderators tend to be chosen. But if you'd write an application, what priorities would you name as doing so?

3. Why not? On which website?

I don't mind, really. Whatever they're most comfortable with.
