If you'd like to balance the team with someone a little right of center, I'm willing.

Poof! You're a Mod.

Let's keep in mind that in Mod mode, we're not politicking. As a Mod, it's more like you've been elected. Our primary goal is to make sure the trains run on time, the potholes are filled, and in general, law and order is kept.

 

I think that the moderators should be nearly invisible.
Just kinda keep the train on the track.

I do think that the moderator should be empowered to delete an obscene or abusive post, or a, let's call it a "darkstar post", that is just completely off the topic.

What willl the powers of the moderator be?
Just to give a gentle touch on the shoulder, or can he give a rare kick in the arse as well?

What does a moderator need to do excactly?

To Tarnation's point, very little. Think of a mod as a customer service rep. They are there to answer questions, provide assistance to users, and try and keep the board ship-shape.
