Introducing Rayaan: Moderator

RE: Introducing Rayaan: Moderator.
(September 7, 2011 at 6:18 am)Rayaan Wrote: I see a tiny problem though, which is that, it is more likely that a mod with a different belief system will tend to have and/or develop a certain degree of personal bias against some of those who have opposing views and thus it can (sometimes) affect his moderation activities accordingly. However, I'm not saying that this is necessarily true for everyone because, fortunately, it is still possible to be fair to others despite there being a difference of beliefs between each other. The latter is what I should be careful about when moderating. And I don't think that I'm going to have a problem in doing this, IMO.

Also, as a theist moderator in an atheist forum, I should set my tolerance level high enough to allow minor insults like being called (for example) "delusional," "brainwashed," "ignorant," "primitive," "barbaric," "a gullible fool," and similar things. I think the same applies for the atheist moderators in the forum (i.e. minor insults which are different from the ones that I mentioned). It's only when flaming personal attacks occur - especially if a member does it many times and takes it to an extreme level - that an action may be taken by the staff to stop the aggression.

Heh, Rayaan, by writing that you already prove my point that at least you will be a good mod Wink Thus I like the idea, if we're to have mods of faith on a forum for atheists, that there'll be from different religions. That way the bias won't necessarily be concentrated but spread evenly. And still, our admins are atheists, so if you perform poorly, people will make sure that you don't stay one for long by reporting you to them Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
