Should be its main qualities: tranquility, steadiness and correctness. If any of users can show liberty in expressions and defend the personal position, then the moderator should stand neuter.

3. The good moderator should be able to make the correct decisions quickly. As he is responsible for them, solutions should be reasoned in terms of rules of a forum.
4. The moderator should not select "favourites" at a forum and do them any indulgences.
