Role of moderator?

[sun818]

What do you think the role of a moderator should be?
When you do appreciate a moderator's involvement?
Do they cross the line sometimes in your opinion?


My opinion is that they are around to facilitate forum guidelines and discussion. They monitor threads and take appropriate action when necessary. I appreciate what they do most of the time. And it is a difficult position to volunteer for.

I think after looking at some of the other "anything goes" forums, I appreciate this place more.

I think that #3 applies perfectly
