TenZens this is a good point. There was a actually a movie based on this premise. It starred Kevin Spacey and Samuel L. Jackson.

Anyway, as per your statement "jtadeo will, no doubt, do his best to be as fair as possible to everyone if he was made Moderator. But what exactly does "fairness" mean?"

Fairness would be largely influenced by what has been outlined by BoonEx. The rules of the forum would form the basis for most decisions. For example, any posts that contain items see more that have been recognized as spam, swear words and so forth would be moderated.

Others may take more time to review. This would be items usually related to viewpoint matters. For example, I am sure many have see the "Mac vs. PC" debates. To me, unless rules are not broken, then there really would be no reason to stop to prevent the post from continuing.

With that said, I do have a personal rule. Whenever I see a post that might be off-putting, I remember this:

"Your first reaction is usually the wrong one."

So as much as possible, I take my time to chew on it a bit more to see if I may be missing something that was important to that member
