Introducing Rayaan: Moderator

[Rayaan]

But seriously, I don't see a problem with mods with different believes, because [...]

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.

This is what I get for not checking out other parts of the forums, like Announcements. Better late than never? Anyway, congratulations, Rayaan.

Yeah, better late than never (although replying here even 2 weeks later wouldn't matter to me) ... but thanks for congratulating me.
