There needs to be a system in place that would allow mods to be properly measured in there ability to handle reports fairly and properly. I very much doubt that there is some one who consistently looks over every report and evaluates if mods are making the correct verdicts.
Why not implement a way to allow the community to "vote" on the end report verdicts and let the players decide if they believe the decision is fair or not. This would prevent any sort of mod abuse and allows the people who run the site an easy way to evaluate wether or not the mods are doing there job well. This also would be helpful for mods in the appeal process, as mods would be able to read the results and if the overwhelming majority of people believe the verdict given was incorrect, they know that the report needs to be reassessed.
One possible way to do this would be to implement a poll after a report decision has been made. Mods would still have the ultimate power in the final decision, but at least this way we give the community an easy route to help improve and monitor the site.
You've stated this and I've answered this multiple times. You're like a broken record more mods = less time needed with the ability to properly monitor mods you can easily manage more.

here's what would happen.
For the first few weeks everyone will use to troll the mods Everyone will get bored and no one will vote
Mushroom I just want you to know that the very same community you're entrusting to evaluate our verdicts and actions has just filed two reports in a row for game violations occurring during two different unranked mafia games
One is for "wanting to die" and the other is GRS, in two different unranked games
The majority of issues are handled approperatly this is for the select few that aren't this system isn't as intrusive as you guys are making it out to be once again it should only be 2-10% of reports
The fact of the matter is that once you designate people as mods they need to have a good understanding of the rules and the vios, the general player base does not. The mods are also expected to be held accountable for their actions and put actual thought and effort into reports, whereas the general player base could just vote however they like; not even read a game in question; vote so their friend doesn't get a vio; use alts to skew the poll; or just troll the polls in general cause they can do whatever they want.
Your idea doesn't work in any capacity. The vast majority of reports don't even get appealed because people are aware of how they broke the rules and just accept where they messed up.
I think the amount of people who would care enough to take the polls seriously are the people who already read and comment on reports as it is now.

there isn't any point in doing that because this isn't ever going to happen.
