    Not sure about generally on boards, but in the A+A sub-forum, it’s explicitly prohibited:

    Thanks. If there is no evidence of a rule can it exist? isnt there a charter?

    It's backseat moderation at the very least, so it does break that rule at least.

    Please follow site and charter rules. "Resistance is futile"

    Would this have anything to do with the fact that you recently called another poster a troll in a thread?

    You're dressing this up as a general query, where really it isn't. If you have a question about your specific case, PM the moderator in question.
