moderate fairly and don't let their internal bias lead them to playing favorites

So, nobody should be an admin then? It's nigh impossible to completely eliminate personal biases.

The mod log being public is great, and I'll have to make use of that.

I think you misunderstood me. I agree that it's impossible to completely eliminate personal biases, which is why it's important that administrators and moderators of any site be capable of recognizing their own biases so they can make a conscious effort to moderate fairly.

Or instead, try to get moderators from different backgrounds so they can be a check on each other. Diversity is generally a good thing, and I'd like a bit more transparency on who has moderation powers.

But the modlog bring public should at least give users enough transparency to point out bad moderation, so that's certainly a critical aspect of it.
