I handpick my mods from the most rational, sensible and helpful people in my forum. Several people apply for the mod position, but I always have the same reply: there is no moderator application, I choose mods based on forum etiquette and knowhow.
We have a private staff forum where we throw around ideas, and criticize each other when needed. Forum drama is unavoidable when dealing with differences of opinion, but the good thing about choosing mature people is that it doesn't prevent us from always coming up with a compromise.
