Ultimately the owners own the board. My experience in 15 years the better boards are the ones where it isn't a delegated push button action in the moment, but in chambers. Seems that if it were simply "I the owner give you free licence in the moment, to the mods" You'd notice lots more quick and sudden bans. I've been on here for years and seen very few bans outside of clear sock puppets and trolling and spam.
I do not envy their job having been a admin and mod on prior boards, and it is no fun having to tell someone your hands are tied. I don't think the staff here wants more power at all. I think for them they are like any business, looking to keep and maintain an environment where a diversity of voices can partake.
I think it is more important for us, as members, to know the difference between a broken rule and merely being offended. Atheists especially have to remember off the web, just our mere mentioning our non belief to many is blasphemy and or considered evil.
I think the processes of making requests to look at behaviors wont go away. And as they said, it isn't sudden in the moment and there is stop gap measures so that no one person can do whatever they want.
