Maybe (if possible with the amount of mods) have it so that in order to delete a post...not only does the usual mod have to delete it...but another mod would be notified to either also accept the delete or not, that way its harder for people to abuse mod powers cause sometimes....its kinda questionable.... . . .
. . .

pls note...i just got one of my posts banned (by Laughing Fish) and i accept this, his reason stands, though a little eh...this post isn't to talk sh!t about that....just that event brought it to my attention, NOTHING ELSE.

We do view each other's actions fairly frequently, and the Discord server and this board exist specifically for people to ask questions about deletions they feel they need more explanation on. We also peer-review a lot of actions whenever we're uncertain, but due to the number of actions required on a daily basis it's impossible to get buy-in from multiple moderators on EVERY action one of us takes.

We will make mistakes (and some things will always be borderline), and we have a few ways people can contact us for a more in-depth discussion when these things happen. We have overturned actions before when we've found someone deleted something that probably shouldn't have been deleted, and usually those are simply misunderstandings or borderline cases where there's some disagreement about exactly where the line is drawn.

So I can say with some confidence that we'll never REQUIRE moderators to get buy-in from the team (as sometimes that just isn't possible in a timely enough fashion), but do know that we do it a lot anyway AND we're always happy to have the community reach out if they feel an action was improperly applied or that power is being abused.
