    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.

    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.
