Another good point, so if an action taken by a moderator results in other people posting stuff like what the hell was that infraction given to him for, is it indicative that it is not being seen as being right?

But back to that first point, this comment is made by someone in this topic
One already deserves the ban hammer and the other doesn't and never will.
Recently there was this little bit of a hoohah where a moderator wanted to ban the person who made that post because they considered them nothing but a troll.
They had disagreed with each other in many topics and quite a few insults were thrown both ways.
I think that person suggested that moderators should not participate in topics or they should have a separate account where they could participate in topics, or they should participate in topics but bar themselves from doing any moderation in those topics.
None of which is really practical but it does kind of illustrate the problem with moderation.
Plus of course it illustrates that what one person sees as a troll who should be banned may well be seen by others as being a troll who should be banned themselves.

How bout you let us put it to a vote, loser is banned?
