Dinah, John G. has the final say on everything at PC.
I've seen John step in before a mod sees a post and either warn posters or let them know that he is locking the thread.
Generally, locking a thread comes after John and the available moderators confer behind the scenes, the same way it happens here.You have to do something that is very, very bad before you are asked to stay away.You may be "banned" or suspended for one week. Two people come to mind..a doctor of psychology who was "guest" moderating the psychology forum and a poster who had the entire site in an uproar.
John is more hands on there than Bob is here. That doesn't mean that there aren't squabbles and dustups....
The "moderator" part comes from different people being "in charge" of a specific forum.I have no idea how many mods are at PC now. Maybe 10.
p.s. I really haven't seen a post here today that refers to the deputies as being vicious but posters who know how to stay under the radar are receiving alot of heat. That issue is definitely frustrating posters.
