You have a very curious definition of super-mod. One would assume a super-mod needs to be a mod first.

People are sometimes entrusted with non-public information they aren’t at liberty to disclose, at least without asking for explicit permission first. Still, when they see false accusations thrown around they sometimes would like to do something. I thought this is a forum for adults, that much should be obvious.

the definition doesn't matter

what matters is that there's a selected group of users, who can leverage capabilities unavailable and unknown to anybody else in the group

again, if you won't be disclosing any info, why do you mention that you have anything to disclose?

How many times do they have to hint that the set of people is not limited to users of any stripe.

They've said enough, and there simply are situations where that's all you can say, and it's neither pointless nor wrong, nor even unusual or all that remarkable. It's common even.
