Looking at the candidates, I am very secure that each and every one will do an excellent job of moderation. Quite frankly, there is nothing to it 99.9% of the time. You get whinging twit attacks once in a blue moon, and they are a real pest. But most of the time a moderator's true job is: Nothing, zilch, nada, zip. When the rare need arises, it doesn't really take Albert Einstein to figure out that if someone is swearing his head off, he needs to knock it off. Maybe once per term there is a tough judgement call. But any of the candidates listed will be more than up to any challenge along those lines.
