One of our moderators in our community is constantly getting reported by a group of the same people, trying to get them demoted in every server they moderate. It's always the same group of people trying to get this specific moderator demoted for something that happened off-server. We have a policy that we don't moderate anything out side of the server (unless it's violating ToS, in DMs).

What should we do? This moderator is literally being harassed by around ~10-15 people. They lurk in the server, waiting for the moderator to say something and trying to cause drama every time they speak.

Basically, they are nitpicking on every single thing this moderator does. They lurk in chat and try to cause drama. The things they did aren't really that bad, it's just goofing off in another private server and this moderator has a few disorders and has trouble processing certain things. Basically what the mod did was

  • Funny trolling with their friends
  • Bypassing fake punishments (like warms and beans, which pretends they get banned/warned/muted in the server but isn't really) - which they think are actual punishments
  • A bit of swearing/immaturity

They keep coming back on different accounts after being blocked and reported too.
So basically I feel like I should also give a warning to the moderator as I do feel it's a bit immature what they are doing and how are they doing it. But I also feel like I shouldn't since it's very minor

Personally, if you ever say something along the lines of “that technically isn't against the rules” or “it doesn't really deserve a punishment”, then you should take a long, hard look at the user(s) in particular and whether or not they are actually contributing to your community positively. This applies to both members and moderators. Moderators should be treated similarly to the members - if they are causing disruption, drama, or negativity, they should be either actioned or spoken to.

I would speak to the moderator about their actions and get their side of the story. Perhaps, it is best to remove or demote the moderator, or just speak to them about the situation.
