And the above happened (probably) a VERY LONG TIME ago, when the community is akin to the Wild West or something.
I've got a question...Have there been any abusive mod that have been caught and banned(or not) yet?
Near impossible nowadays, all the mods keep close ties (and are friends) with each other. Anything wrong and they would call out on it. They're also pretty chill people who have little to no reason to abuse their power. The worst they could do are harmless practical jokes like renaming a thread or adding something funny to people's posts. I don't know what sort of shenanigans happen in their exclusive area, if there were any but I assume most of it is contained there. (Do mods have fun?)
