Perhaps it's because you and I have never had a run-in, but I'm curious what it is about the current crop that has been so lackluster?
Not being active is #1. A distant #2 is allowing personal bias to influence their moderating decisions. A closer #3 is no one respects a vast majority of the moderating staff. Most of them troll just as bad as the "trolls" and set a piss poor example of forum leadership.

Leave it to sleeper to turn this into a QQfest. Nothing new here, and he wonders (whines) about the forum being stagnant. lolfail

Gosh a ruddies. It's not like there is anything else going on today on this forum. If it weren't for this thread and people trying to help FFT out, would anyone even be posting? Doubt it.

How does one evaluate 'active' moderation? Can it be possible to be actively moderating and not an actively posting?

I don't think I'd love the bias for purpose of moderating, so I could see that being annoying.

What is the plum line for respect of a moderator? What are the tenets of good forum leadership? As for the trolling ... okay, I agree with that as well, unless they're trolling a troll to get him/her to leave. Hell, I did that with the pizza spammer guy.

Active moderation is the same as active posting. If you aren't posting, you aren't moderating; fair or not.

Good forum leadership is setting an example for your fellow community and generating discussion for said community. When's the last time a moderator created a thread that generating a discussion? Justin does it sometimes, but he's too busy trying to get negs working for everyone.

Authority doesn't need active posting to be effective. O-trap made a good point.

Leadership and moderating aren't necessarily the same thing.

Yes, good for posting. Would it be good moderating after a few Dead Guy Bombers?

Zero dollars. But you can post whatever you want in the mod forum. Lots and lots of porn in there. :)
