(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.

Some trolls on forums start arguments about every little tiny thing or start lots of controversies by freely offending people left and right,and then the gay faggot mods turn around and ban people for getting defensive over the agressive trolls.

mods are total fags who can't see the truth
Moderators cause almost as many problems as the trolls and hyper spammers do.

When the site admin or moderator deletes/modify's posts which are off topic. Or just to prove how powerful they truly have become.
The posts where off topic so they got moderated.

Tend to keep and feed trolls as pets.
Get rid of mods and trolls and spammer-trolls (see spam) and you will have a peaceful forum.If you have zero tolerance for trolls and spammer trolls then you wouldn't need mods at all,just a couple of bouncers to ban the obvious idiots.People should be allowed to have opinions and beliefs and express them but if you can't spot a spammer-troll(spam-bot) or an ordinary troll right away then you have no business being a mod and trying to mediate who can say what because then biases creep in and you've done a shitty job.YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU MODS YOU!
