Criterion for selecting a moderator for the local section

[BITCOIN4X]

There are several general criteria that can be used for the requirements to become a local moderator in my opinion, namely:
1. Have high integrity
2. Contribute to the forum
3. Discipline monitors user activity
4. Not too selfish and can solve problems well.
5. Fair, helpful and trustworthy.

The rest may have free radical antidotes from shitposter, because many shitposter hate moderators because they are always the target of deleting posts.

I myself am willing to moderate for free if I were will be given a chance. It's not just about the pay, I'm more concerned about the reputation.

If you are willing to gain reputation of the community by moderating a sub-forum then its totally a bad way of gaining trust from fellow members. Trust and reputation should come eventually on a person and if anyone trying to voluntarily gain them in the name of doing some welfare for the forum I wouldn't trust them forever. To be quite true I have been reporting and meriting 100s of posts in my local board but has never uttered a word about the same and nor I was willing to say that. All I revealed is when someone from my local board PMd me to post in this topic : Let's vote for a new mod for India. Also  if someone starts reporting posts as soon as knowing that reports are one of the key factors for appointing a moderator, I wouldn't trust them either even though they have been made a moderator.

This is an utter lie. Let's vote for a new mod for India was posted on August 17, 2019, 04:29:37 PM, while you started claiming of your report on February 21, 2019, 02:06:13 PM.

I don't really post anything on the Indian board but I am a regular visitor to merit few good posts (which I rarely find) and trash the shit present out there. From what I have identified after 9 months of reporting hundreds of posts is that

@Heisenberg_Hunter To achieve your mission to be the moderator and merit source of Indian board, you have lost the track of your lies. Watch your steps buddy.

Cmon Daniel91, we already had this conversation in our local because some off topic posts, thread with referral link and spam thread have been removed. Your reasons are simple wrong, we don't need moderator, section is not so active and global moderator is doing good job on reports.

Only problem we had with moderators is that they moved some posts to the wrong section or topic because they don't understand our language of course.

Which one?

You should open a thread in the Reputation section about this user (if it already exists, then I must have missed it). This will resolve some questions about "criterion".  

Stop posting from my other account.

As far as Indian board is concerned, Every reporter is a moderator and every quality poster is a merit source. We don't need to depend on theymos for appointing someone separately to do the task. since its not really easier to appoint someone who is trustworthy to do the job effectively.

TBH, there isn't much really happening on the Indian Board as compared to Russian/Indonesian/other boards. The ideology that 'every reporter is a moderator' will only work if other Mods/Global Mods have to handle a limited number of posts from a different section. If there are thousands of posts being reported on a daily basis it will be much harder for other mods to handle them especially if they're in a language that they do not understand.

I simple asked following question here: Criterion for selecting a moderator for the local section?
I didn't ask local moderator for Croatian section or something like this.
I'm grateful for all answers because now is more clear what are the general criteria to get a moderator in local sections.
Regarding local posts which moderators moved to the wrong sections, it's corrected already long time ago, so I can't find it anymore.
This was just one example why understanding of the local language is important for the moderator's job.
This case was resolved several months ago, but it was important to explain that such errors are possible when the moderator doesn't understand the local language.

Being a moderator will earn you more hate from shitposters, bounty hunters and trolls   and some even need to work hard like Halab who is currently moderating the French subforum really well. French, Russian and Indonesian are one among the very active local communities present here along with Philippines.

You'd think that, but I would argue different. This community is a little more friendly than people make out. My experience of a moderator has been nothing, but positive. I've had very friendly PM's off not only well established accounts, but also newbies who are asking about the rules or why one of their posts got deleted. I think users mistake being challenged publicly as a hatred for the moderators when simply they are asking for an explanation of some mod actions which in my opinion they have every right to do. This isn't meant to be a blanket statement obviously as I would assume some users have issues with the illusion of 'authority'.

For a forum which is at constant war with itself with trust battles going on every other day I was surprised by the friendly approach most users have made during my time as a mod.

I probably misunderstood "I don't see a reason why we can't get local moderator" from topic. Wait, I didn't.

Only problem we had with moderators is that they moved some posts to the wrong section or topic because they don't understand our language of course.
Because of it and fact that we already had local moderator in the past,  when we had even less activity and members I felt it's right time to start discussion about it.

Nop.

"this is just example" but where is example? Wasn't that serbian local which was removed and not some thread/post in our local? You accused moderators not only here but in our board as well and yet you are not able to provide at least one example, instead, you are repeating yourself, as usual, with slight difference - you are doing it on 2 boards now.

I think I was very clear here.
I started this topic to discuss ''Criterion for selecting a moderator for the local section'', nothing more, nothing less.
So, when I said that ''I didn't ask local moderator for Croatian section or something like this'' here, it's correct.
When I decide it's right time, I may start such topic in the meta but I don't think it's right time now.
In Croatian section of the forum I started another topic and asked opinions from local members if we need moderator or not.
It's not the same as you may think. First I wanted to know opinions from local members if we need local moderator or not before I check here about criterion to get local moderator.
Regarding example, after some research I find it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5149975.0
I don't want to continue this useless discussion so let's return to the original topic, if is ok with you?
