I wonder, is there any rule for Mods??
if there is, Where is it??
Would I/Forumers know about it??
or if it means AE Code of Conduct & Terms of Use but I wonder is there unwritten rule which says Mods can disregard it??
They can ban & get warning by closed eyes or they can Troll or Remark

& who is mod of Mods?? Admin??
I know Mr. Cyrus Shahmiri & Mr. imperator Invictus & Mr. Komnenos are whom stands for it.
I have sent some PM to Mr. imperator Invictus & Mr. Komnenos
Mr. imperator Invictus has replied me once that they were discussing about my sunject.
& Mr. Komnenos has always replied me, Thanks, but he has never got me obvious answer.
& in this issue, I've never asked help from Mr. Cyrus Shahmiri , becuz  he is Iranian & may be accused as nationalist.

at last, what I want to say is AE shows fully support to his Mods wrongs.
& don't want confess their wrong.

Thanksostamble();

From what I understand we moderators are bound by the Code of Conduct also. A complaint against a moderator will be taken seriously and dealt with, just as with any other member.

I apologize for Generalization,
Most Mods are respectful men, but I don't want directly mention name.

@Constantine XI:
I know, but I didn't get obvious answer for my PM
& not only my PMs, there are others too

It's regrettable you received no reply to your satisfaction. I would be happy to answer any enquiries you may have if you don't receive the response as quickly as you would like.

The truth is that moderators are not given special treatment, and there have been incidents where one moderator has called into question the conduct of another moderator and that moderator's actions have been scrutinised by all other moderators. There is no secret agreement where we can break the rules or twist them, if a moderator makes a mistake then the first people they will be answering to are the other moderators who are naturally vigilent for misconduct from ALL members. If anything, we expect our moderators to conduct themselves on a higher level than most members and are a good deal more critical than with other cases.

I think there should be a Code of Conduct & Terms of Use specially written for Moderatores, and this should be obligated to disclose. This is necessary becouse Mods have power for banning and warning, and maybe they could abuse their authority.

Yes i believe you, but i think with the special moderator's rules you know better when is to close a thread or bann or warn a user. AE rules are generally destined for users to know how they conduct, not for special duties for Mods.

To answer (most of your ) questions:

I. Yes, there are rules for Moderators, who as Constantine already explained are bound to AE's Code of Conduct as much as anyone else. Moderators do not receive special treatment, but tend to contravene AE's code of conduct less by definition.
( The question of the poll is hereby answered and we don't need to continue this poll any further.)

II. There are at the moment three AE Administrators with the following responsibilities:

Cyrus Shamiri is currently not involved in the daily running of AE.

Imperator Invictus is AE's webmaster and therefore responsible for the technical side of AE's main site and forum.

Komnenos is responsible for all issues arising from the forum and its content, including forum maintenance and development, staff issues, disciplinary measures, complaints procedures, etc.

All communication regarding forum content issues that might necessitate the involvement of an Administrator should therefore be directed to Komnenos.
However, most issues can be dealt with by the Forum Moderators who are the first point of contact.

For the current complaints procedures see:
Complaints procedures

III.The role and responsibilities of Administrators and Moderators are at length explained in AE's Code of Conduct. (We therefore do not need an additional code of conduct for staff members as requested by Maziar.)

IV. I'm not certain to which specific cases LandofAryan is referring to in his post. Any additional information about possible complaints should be sent via PM to Administrator, or if nessserary to any other AE staff member.

My 2 cents worth...
You may not like it - but a forum like this is not a democracy - it was never intended as such.
There is one "forum owner" and he can do as he pleases.
The members of this particular forum should consider themselves lucky, that this owner decided to delegate responsibility and competence to a broad group of Admins and Mods - representing a likewise broad group of members - and they are, IMO doing an excellent job.
As I understand it - noone is banned unless agreed by the staffgroup as a whole - so you can rest assured - if you are banned, you deserve it.
Maybe some will disagree about such decisions, warnings and ban's - their problem - even in a free democracy, there are always things you like more or less - or not at all.

The Rules of Conduct are adequate for all members. No need for special rules for staffmembers. They are also members like everyone else and entitled to their opinions. They just accepted to take this unpaid, very often a difficult and unrewarding job.

Noone has to be in doubt what can be said or not. Actually, The Rules Of Conduct are spelled out almost to the extreme to be understood by all  - whereas one word of conduct really should be enough between civilized people, behave.
