It's not really a complicated process, so here's a slice..... There is a deliberation and several things are considered...
- Mod History
- Knowledge of the site (and community)
- Any past moderator experience
- How well you've been known to handle/judge a tough forum situation
Just examples. Can I ask what recent posts piqued your curiosity? What problems for the mods and community make you question the process?

I think the political threads are where the modding is the most suspect. It sort of feels like things that to people seem rather trivial and not a big deal are treated as such by mods. Maybe it's to do with where you're from .Where I am from, we discuss politics openly and don;t shy away from it while people in the US general don't like that. Maybe because of that things that seem ok with me are not so for the mods. But even without that difference, inferring something from previous posts and imposing a bias on individuals is not a good mod strategy and feel that happened to me last time. It felt like he said you did this stuff before and you did it while talking about the same subject, so you are doing it again. Maybe a combination of how to manage political threads plus developing biases from history is what I think is wrong here
Edit: Recent posts that peaked my interest are not in my head right now because I have finals coming up and haven't been as active so I can't say
