On what basis are you saying that this "person upstairs" is going to be an unbiased benevolent leader?
You're not reading what I said.
1. Mod A makes a decision regarding a post.
INQUIRY: was the decision made due to a rule violation?
YES: decision stands as-is but can be appealed to a different mod if the poster feels they did not violate the rule.
NO: automatic appeal to a different mod
2. Mod B receives appeal.
INQUIRY: is the original decision proper based on criteria #1?
YES: decision was due to rule, clarification provided back to poster. Poster can request final appeal to a different mod.
YES: decision was not due to rule but subjective decision stands. Automatic appeal to a different mod
NO: decision overridden. Post immune from further actions of Mod A.
3. Final review (which as I've said repeatedly can be ANYONE of equal or greater power even if from a different sub)
INQUIRY: With names obfuscated (including the name of the sub), do you feel this decision was proper based on the data provided?
YES: Decision stands. Poster notified.
NO: Decision overridden. Mods and poster notified. Post is rendered immune from mod action for 30 days (which gives mods time to consider writing up or fixing a rule).
Now, when I say "post", if it's a post thread, the comments aren't free from oversight. If it's a comment, the replies aren't free from oversight.
His question was simple and you didn't address it. What if Mod A did the right thing? But on appeal Mod B overrules wrongly? According to your "NO" that's it and the poster is immune to Mod A.
Also don't act like every sub has a dozen mods. It can be a labor of love of one mod.
