This thread seems to be more about Lauda and less about forum moderator requirements. Perhaps it's time that it be moved to the reputation section?
Let me set this back on track.
So no need to move it.
I think Lauda would be a great mod because of the fairness and honesty I have seen in his moderation around the board.
Should be promoted to Global Moderator.

I dont think the Global Moderator isn't a Lauda thing. As you can see on her recent trust page about Memorydealer. Her own decision making got her negative from a VIP user here. She gives negative trust to Memorydealer . And after getting a neg trust back from Memorydealer, she changed her trust to him and make it neutral.
Why changed your trust after getting a negative trust?
Something similar happened with BG4. They exchanged negative ratings (the one Lauda sent was questionable at best), then some time later both have been removed.
There was another instance in which someone was publicly criticizing Lauda who Lauda had given a negative rating to, then as soon as Lauda removed the negative the person rescinded the criticism and locked the thread.
It appears that Lauda has been using the strong weight of his negative ratings to prevent others from being critical of him.
