This. I'd be awful at it, because I'm biased, narrow-minded and like arguing. However equally people who dislike me for that shouldn't be allowed, because neither party is necessarily in the wrong in that case. A forum is a place for people to express opinions; not necessarily to be nice, friendly and make friends. Finding someone who can allow the forum to function well whilst knowing where the limits are is not necessarily that simple.
Ideally, you'd want someone who gets annoyed by poor grammar and spelling; after all, forums do have a "reputation" and I think this one's always had a pretty good one. At the same time, everyone makes the odd typo and if you go around banning people for mixing up their i's and e's you'll just end up with people demanding refunds all over the place and lots of unhappy people.
