Ok so lets pretend this site is the world and the "mods" are the police force. They can go around locking up anyone they want for no reason whatsoever. What happens next? Rebellion. As there obviously isn't a way to do that on the internet, people will stop coming here. Then those "few mods" lives will forever be ruined as they have no authoritative power which makes them feel good about themselves, and to pretend they have worth in their pointless lives.
Pretty much just setting an example as these two are not related in any way just trying to get a point across.
