Regarding the one-year requirement referenced above (where is this, by the way?), is your FlyerTalk "age" tolled by timeouts? What about lifetime bans?</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">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 located outside of the USA (Australia, New Zealand or Japan would be ideal for around-the-clock coverage. Even Europe or Hawaii would give us an extra six hours or so of coverage).
* 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>
