@thadah Again, I'm not familiar with the specifics; but to me, it certainly *sounds* like a "since not", and like a moderator overstepping the bounds of what the rules are meant to cover. (If not, that's probably even worse.) But that's *exactly why* a *different* moderator should always be the one handling an appeal, and the moderator who took the initial action should let the other moderator(s) handle the appeal without undue influence, interference or meddling.@lukas
