I just need to say this..

In no way, is a moderator required to do what he does. A moderator could be as uncaring as they want to be. At the same time, they could be as caring as a mother for her newly-born child. However, the fact remains that a moderator is supposed to be on a forum to help the forum members have a more enjoyable experience. Whether it means deleting posts.. censoring words.. or even banning someone. The idea of a moderator is not to suppress people and their feelings and words, or for someone to outrank another person in power. The true ideal, is for a moderator to take care of their members; not because it's their job, but because they actually care about the members. So, if you cannot care about the members, how they feel, or want they want, then I believe you should never have the chance to be a moderator.

That is all I need to say.

Sincerity and Determination...Both are needed in order for people to achieve what they wish. Remember this.
