Hello,
I have been sick the last few days and bored enough to make this inquiry. I am curious as to what the consequences are for a mod who breaks this rule: 
I encountered it the other day – a mod was simultaneously commenting in the thread and at the same time attempting to moderate. When I mentioned the rule-breaking, the moderator chose not to address the fact that he was actively breaking the rules of moderation.
Here is the thread: https://breakingnewsandreligion.online/2021/05/01/sen-tim-scott-exposes-the-democrat-partys-war-on-black-america/
Here are some screenshots:
Mod commenting as normal: 
Mod overtly breaking the rules of moderation and then choosing to not admit what he was doing, but instead continuing to break the rules: 
What happens in this case? A moderator can give a commenter a 3-day ban – does a moderator get a similar punishment for such a move? I am curious.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
llama
PS: this is coming 2 days late because I submitted it 2 days ago with all fields completed and it was apparently deleted from pending. So I am submitting it again.
