Moderation

Moderation is the process of eliminating or lessening extremes. It is used to ensure normality throughout the medium on which it is being conducted. Common uses of moderation include: * Ensuring consistency and accuracy in the marking of student assessments. * A moderator may remove unsuitable contributions from the website, forum or chat room they represent in accordance with their moderation system. * A more proactive nuance is found in the Methodist church's use of the term for the heads of its conferences. * A neutron moderator is used to slow down neutrons in a nuclear reactor. * A way of life emphasizing perfect amounts of everything, not indulging in too much of one thing, hence moderation. rdf:langString
