SippixLet's pretend you own a company and you're hiring.
You'd want someone mature and responsible working for you, right?
Would you hire someone to work at your company if you found out they harassed people every day outside of work? No, you wouldn't. That would just be stupid.
The same rules should apply when appointing a mod to an online group, chatroom or forum.
What the person does outside the group/forum/chatroom should be taken into account when considering that person for a moderator, right?
Honestly, would you want someone who trolls and harasses people given a position of power?

I recently got a mod in a group demodded, and her argument was, "What I said had nothing to do with the group. Their completely different situations.", Uhm, no, if you act like a troll and you harass people that are members of the group you mod, whether it be outside of that group or not, you shouldn't be a mod anymore. Plain and simple.
in an other online community, there were some "spam-user friendly mods" ... the end of the story is, that i can't post any new stuff there, because of trolling by users AND their beloved troll-mods. admins do nothing.
I'm not 100% sure, but it's just a hunch.
So I hope it holds some merit.
Doesn't really matter, cause I plan on quitting the site anyways soon.
