Definately. I should be made a mod to even things out.

As long as the moderators moderate fairly, I don't see a problem with their political standing. If any of the moderators start to enforce their personal views upon the debates, then we will replace said moderator. This has seldom been an issue in the past (in any forum), and I don't see any problem in the future with our current group of mods.

Perhaps.

However I can't see anything wrong with having a mod on the left for balance and to prevent any "unconscious" favouritism. I've certainly seen examples of "leftist" posters recieving public warnings for behaviour "rightist" posters wouldn't recieve public warnings for because of their friendship with a mod.

Hell, why not have 3 leftist mods for a change if it doesn't matter that much?  :laugh:

We tried to get any of the current "lefty" mods to take up some of the slack in this forum, but nobody had time. Phred made a very good post, in the mod forum, that indicated his desire for a lefty mod in PA&L to balance things out. However, when we choose a new moderator, we choose for the site, not just a single forum. As such, the political standing of a new moderator isn't taken into account.

Of the names produced and discussed as potential moderators, we felt that Redstorm would be the best for the site as a whole and would also fit in with the PA&L crowd as well. There could just as easily be three lefty mods in here as three righty mods. Rather than prejudge Redstorm based upon his political standing, I will wait and see how he performs as a moderator. From what I have seen so far, we made a good decision in placing our trust in him.

I think Redstorm is a quality choice. Redstorm will be more impartial and fair than Phred will ever be in situations such as like Alex pointed out. I think the solution to that problem is not a politically-balanced moderation, but a moderation that is fair. I think Redstorm can fill this role. Baby_Hitler is fine albeit not so active in this forum. Phred isnt a good mod in this sense.

I wouldn't prejudge Redstorm as I think he's a fair guy, but I still think 3 right-wing mods at a political forum is questionable.

But as Bio points out, with any luck Redstorm will be a different league to Phred as far as fairness goes.

If I'm understanding you and Alex213 correctly, your claim is not that I enforce the rules against "Lefties" too strictly, but that I don't enforce the rules against "Righties" strictly enough?

Ya, I wish Redstorm would just shut up about how much he loves Ann Coulter and how Bush is the best thing that ever happened to this country.  :lol:

Seriously though, congratulations Redstorm. :thumbup:

Where did I say this?

I wouldn't say I'm very right-wing.

During the last two elections I would have voted Democrat if I could have voted. I'm anti-Bush, anti-War in Iraq, anti-War on Drugs, and I support gay marriage. Really, the only place I lean right is economics.

Thanks for all of your support, though!

This thread can come down now. It's served its purpose and it is another sticky cluttering up the place.
