Even if they do catch wind of something, the standard practice is to stay out of moderation unless things get truly extreme or the rest of the team agrees that someone’s gone way overboard.

The people handling moderation over there have a much better handle on the forum's vibe than the admin does, so 99% of the time, we just follow the moderators' lead.

But then what's the point of you guys even being here? Mods usually stick together and won't call out one of their own for dropping the ball.🙄

If most, or even all, of the moderators on a specific board agree on a penalty, there's hardly any chance the head admin is going to step in and go against their consensus.

But if a ton of people are complaining about a specific moderator—especially if she keeps handing out bans or those 500-point penalties for absolutely nothing—then management really needs to pay attention and take an objective look at what's actually happening.🤷
