Nit-picking: what you are describing is not done by moderators, but by ordinary users. Anyone with 15 points can flag a question as a duplicate, then users with 3,000 points can vote whether the flag is correct.

Moderators are not ordinary users; they can do things like remove comments because they are inflammatory.

Yes, when I say 'mods' I meant those with enough points to perform 'moderation' actions; I know they are not technically mods working for SO.
