What is the criteria for picking moderators?

[Frank]

When it comes to picking moderators for a message forum, what do you consider?

To me, I will say past experience is very important no matter how long the person has been on the forum. If they have not handled the role before, they may have a difficult time adjusting to the role.

I usually stay away from the ones who beg to be staff. Those are usually red flags people.

I choose the mods. I don't try to announce openings. I just choose the most active and helpful person.
