Clarification of rules and penalizations

Pretty sure the only mods that have had issues raised up around them met that limitation. The admins do a good job appointing modship as far as I am concerned. That isn't the issue :3

@1Cap's idea:
This level of structure will fail in a community as small as AC. Pretty simple. The smaller the group of people, the less structure is needed. Maybe if AC accumulates enough people to require more structure, maybe something like this could be implemented.

However, the biggest problem with your idea lies in the fact that this is the land of AC, not the land of the free. Some people believe that AC (the community) is a democracy. It isn't :P I can see some changes getting brought to vote and getting community feedback on, but ultimately the change is not in the hands of the community.
This means that if there is an issue with a mod, you are best to bring it up privately to an admin and talk about it. There is already moderating of mods. By this I mean I feel free asking a mod (or sometimes) about an action they did that I wasn't quite sure about the justification. I've been asked to clarify some stuff in the past too by fellow mods. Bringing it up publicly has a tendance to snowball (flameball) and end up as flames, with not too much constructive material getting produced.

It is worth mentioning that warning points are rarely announced publicly. I generally only do such to remind other people that what someone posted will get you warned.

About warning levels:
Starting at 70% you will get banned.
You will get banned for longer and longer periods of time the higher your percentage is. Remember, just because your auto-ban might expire, that doesn't mean your warning points that got you that auto-ban will.
