Ok lets say that one night when no other mod is on a mod comes in and starts randomly banning people including other mods and staff.

My questions are

How would the raging mod be stopped?

Can people be un banned?

Can a Mod ban another mod or staff?

What if it was a staff

And

What mod would be most likely to do this?

They say that a mod did go crazy and rage once, and his ghost still haunts the Comic Vine servers....That's where all this spam is really coming from.

Not sure, but I'm pretty sure it would never happen. They became a moderator for a reason.

Then the staff will handle it. We can't ban them.

Not that it would ever happen, but if a mod did go bad, I imagine it looking like this:

This happens all the time in Spoony Experiment. The dude is depressive-bipolar and drop his banhammer on anyone that even whispers something he doesn't like. I suppose here on CV if a mod/staff that has a very bad day or is drunk/sick/whatever will take their day off from the Internet. Well its what I hope for...

Okay, even if a moderator does go crazy and bans everyone, I'm pretty sure after the chaos is done and they have IP Banned the rogue moderator, the people who had been banned would have their ban lifted.

@joewell: Well if that happens we would stay our heads down from the line of fire. This is what we did when Spoony had one of his anger fits and decided to take his frustration out in the users.

For that matter, was there a mod ever banned before in CV?

There are some moderators who were relieved of their position from either inactivity or just quitting Comic Vine, like Methos or Static Shock, but none of them were banned for negative actions as for as I'm aware.

Simple. The staff strips them of their mod position and will possibly ban them.

I noticed that with Static. He no longer has the mod label in his profile. But there is still some mods who have been inactive for a long time and haven't be relieved such as

So I take if the Staff are the only ones who can take away Moderator privileges? such as Removing the Moderator tags?

There first target would be the people who can ban him/her, it would take awhile to get things sorted out but if it is that bad you can just start over again. Dude don't give people any ideas.
