I don't think so.

This is an informal poll.

Because I believe it's different from when you file a blank one that's like, "This is against _________" vs if you just press "send moderation report error" on the mod message.

We are not, and we definitely shouldn't be able to.  Certain circumstances would make it okay (i.e a troll saying "FUCK U UR FUCKING GAY SUCK MY DICK) but there are enough moderators that they get closed quickly enough where it isn't an issue.

No, we can't. I support that 100%: members submit them because they think a certain moderator was wrong and so for them to be valid in any way, they need to be closed by a different mod.

Down is the other direction.

I think they should stop covering each other's backs.

I reported one moderation error 'cos one mod was blatently mis-using their ability to re-add a topic to the Fresh topics section, blatently doing it for attention. Which i addressed in the topic, which was then removed under 'no contribution'

In their reply, they didn't even address my argument that they OBVIOUSLY abused power, and just stated if they feel need to add topics to fresh topics, than they can.

Retards.

Thats all i have to say.

even though it has been agreed upon by everybody who has posted in this topic (who actually addressed the question) that no, mods shouldn't be allowed to close their own MERs? among those who agreed were three moderators. why exactly are you making this about her?

If I ever had a MER on me, I would write up a response and tell a mod to close it with that.
