Thanks for replying. I'd also like to suggest:
- Moderators MUST point out in any ban or deletion message what rule was broken and copy the comment in it if it was deleted.
- There needs to be a contact that admins moderators (mod for mods) for appealing misbehavior by mods
- Group rules must comply with Lemmy's terms of service
- Repeated moderator abuse, after warnings, should result in the loss of mod privileges
- Bots cannot be used to ban users. A person needs to put some thought into it. For instance, a bot might ban based on forbidden words but the comment may be quoting someone using them.
