I think the general assumption is that the mods are all watching eachother's backs like they're some sort of gang, but the fact of the matter is we're accountable to each other as a team. Believe me, if a mod goes rogue and gets out of control, that mod gets dealt with. Boo boo is a shining example of that. So yes, there is a fail-safe.
OK that's reassuring.

My other issue is vigilantism. I can understand if a member is disruptive and disciplinary actions need to be taken. But it shouldn't come from one member calling for another member to be banned - in most cases when complaining about another member that dialogue should be member-mod about a trouble-some member. I don't like when it's out in the open (there was a recent event but I won't mention the two people involved) and one member is calling out for another member to be banned - I'm sure other members don't want to see petty arguments clutter the board either.

I think a regular member see something unacceptable he or she should either report it or ignore it, not to think they have chance for trolling a troll. To quote Clinton "It takes a clown to stop a clown."
