Since a moderator has 2 logins, does this mean a moderator can have a dual personality? In other words, the moderator's personal login allows him/her to express his/her inidividual opinion and vent frustrations if any, and the public-service persona (aka: moderator) is used to take the moral high ground and the policing role.
At first I felt a bit insulted that we needed to be policed. On the other hand, I can see that the nameless and faceless "moderator" login allows some protection to the moderator, and allows FT to replace the moderator when it's necessary.
I now think it doesn't matters that the moderator remains anonymous, but the job performance does matter. I would suggest that we keep a tally on the performance of a moderator, and also have a term limit on the moderator role. After all, who will police the police? So, how about giving the moderator a performance review on a regular basis, and also have FTers rotate the job every three months?
