Mods on a forum are like a cross between custodians and bouncers, whose job is to insure that a forum is functioning well and appealing to people who are involved. Why anyone turns this into a power trip cause me much dismay.
And this reason is beyond lame: Other (Sure you can get a promotion. I promote you to the same level as all the mods right now. Banned. Oh and European football sucks. Go American football!)
I would suggest ioi look into this and remove any individuals who are acting in bad behavior, mods included, PERMANENTLY from this forum.
