    that table is only for site bans though so not all mods can get on it.

    No.

    There's no mod conspiracy. A lot of the mods can't even stand each other tbh.

    I saw the original post that was taken from. I'd speculate his issues came from the fact that vBulletin now incorporates the ability for mods etc to put user notes against people accounts. Such as
    "Possibly is banned user called xxxx"
    "Was seen acting suspiciously on the PI forum"
    "One to watch"
    "Warned about trolling"

    I'd speculate also that the user in the original post had the recent bans issued based on the notes left by fellow mods.

    That is why they are there. Saves mods having to go looking through a person histry to get a feel for them.

    All speculation, obviously.

    :pac:

    User notes have been around for a while but I don't think they get used much tbh. The siteban note is what Smods will use to get a better understanding of why the person has been banned. At least that's what I use.

    What if there was a list for Mods comparing their forum bans against each others?
