How does one tell who is a moderator? Is there a head moderator?

Anyone with a green username is a moderator, and anyone with a red name is an administrator, which is like a super-moderator. Tongue

Hardly would a young earth creationist be invited to present himself before any sort of reputable audience associated with the work of a reptable university.

Being present there does wonders for the resume young earth creationist, but toilets the reputation of any university striving to create the image of fostering "higher learning".

Youur welcome would not be warm if you insist your god made two and two five before an audience of mathematians.

All points of view is fundamentally unequal, and giving some appearently equal treatment does a gross disservice to progress, enlightenment, and fundamental respect for truth.

By pretending to absorb progress in human truth finding abilities made over last two hundred years to a much higher degree than you've hitherto shown the ability to pretend.

The mods and admins vote you into the team if they think you've contributed positively to the forum and are trustworthy with the responsibilities of being on the staff.

Well, that, and the determination is made that we need more mods around.

You should have a Christian or two to balance the playing field a bit. Your thoughts?

We don't specifically take on atheists: we have deists in the mod crew, and a muslim admin, if memory serves. And in the background, we've discussed certain christian members for these positions, the next time we're recruiting.

Besides, what balancing does the playing field need? We act based on how you follow the rules, not on your religious views.
