Qualifications and Skills:

Ideally, a TalkModerator would:

- Be familiar with the common FlyerTalk forum functions (such as posting a message, editing a post, registering, and using the Technical Help and FAQ links).
- Possess a broad interest in frequent traveler programs.
- Demonstrate a friendly and helpful nature.
- Have a high comfort level with FlyerTalk, the topics and the personalities of members.
- Be fluent in English (since that's the common language here).
- Be a longstanding member of FlyerTalk (greater than 1 year).
- Be familiar with, and a supporter of, the current moderation criteria.
- Have the flexibility to check into FlyerTalk frequently. Moderation typically only takes a few minutes, but it's good to be able to check three or four times during the day to see what's being asked and said.
- Be a traveler of some experience and knowledge.
- Be willing to work for minimal miles/points while taking abuse from users. </font>
