Usually without even a reason..

To some... moderator = power over others.

I suspect if you reviewed the history of which moderators ban most, and pull posts most... you'd find which ones crave that power most.

Just a guess.

I always thought Jim has the final say in who gets banned.

Am I wrong?

Or are people saying that the moderators are strong arming Jim into banning people who shouldn't be banned because they have a fixation with power?

I think there are a handful of folks, current and past, who have a fixation with banning.

Exactly.
And if we ~all~ had the ability to see that it was Mod#86 doing the largest percentage of the pulling. -- It becomes evident why secrecy is necessary..
