A moderator that saves me from having to type long queries on google has my vote. I currently have to type: termtosearch site:stackoverflow.com "closed as not".
I'll be looking for moderators who won't close "Why?" questions on the basis that knowing "why" doesn't solve an existing problem.
Why does an upvote/downvote community need moderators? Isn't the whole point of letting users upvote and downvote content to avoid having moderator overlords?
Should be closed as not a real question and too localized.
A popularity contest to choose moderators? I wouldn't run my forums that way. We would end up with the wrong people in charge.
I'd vote for moderators who punish people for answering:-
X. It took me Y seconds to google your problem and find that solution.
It'd save me downvoting every time I see that kind of ridiculous passive aggressive bullshit.
Anybody who promises to stop deleting and locking interesting questions on Stack Overflow gets my vote.
Wikipedia has the same problem.
