1. A person who, upon hearing the political arguments presented by both of the only two options available in the U.S., decides that both sides are run by crazy fanatics with no concept or reality. Upon realizing this, the moderate also comes to the conclusion that the only way to make progress is to aid both sides of the struggle to both make the favorable changes and fend off the unfavorable.
2. One who thinks before voting.

You've got your religious zealots on the right, and communist human haters on the left. Guess I'll have to be a moderate, it's the only choice for the sane.

A total control freak. Someone who either has no life or just has fun controlling yours. Can be a parent, older sibling, teacher, pastor, anyone who you're told and expected to listen to.
Man, my sister is such a moderator! She never let's me have friends over on weekdays, but she's always going out to places.

moderators or "mods"
Worthless,useless little pricks on internet forums whom are entirely unneccessary unless you have some sort of 'off topic' or 'general discussion' type of area but then the mods are totally useless because they are biased little pukes.The solution is either to have no such 'off topic' or 'general discussion' type of area or to just allow total free speech in such an area with "some" hard and fast rules about trolls and spammers.But people debating should just be allowed to fucking swear at eachother in 'no holds barred' fashion.Atleast it's fair.Or just simply don't have an 'off topic' general discussion area.But then the shitty little mods with all of their biases would be out of a job.

No 'off topic' discusion = eliminates the need for moderators altogether.At most you might need a 'guide' to help keep things on topic or a 'bouncer' or 'enforcer' to ban the random dickheads.But generally things run pretty smoothly on their own as long as everybody on the forum sticks to the topic which everyone would do if you didn't have a stupid,useless 'off topic' discussion area.
Mods tend to be very biased and tend to nurture the retards on the forum which just perpetuates the flame wars.Mods are almost as bad as trolls and spammers.

(noun) A political orientation, also known as centrist, that seeks a middle road between liberal and conservative, a balanced political outlook. True moderates take varying positions on matters based on independence of thought, though many false moderates are merely timid conservatives or liberals.
A typical moderate takes more liberal stances on civil-liberties issues such as gay rights, abortion, immigration and diversity, and separation of church and state, as well as an active promotion of social causes by the government. Yet, he seeks to do so in more fiscally conservative ways, relying less on taxation and regulation and more on private initiative.
