How does the Fluther moderator process work?

Are there scheduled shifts? Do moderators moderate just whenever they get on? Are decisions a team effort or can a mod make any decision independently? Can one mod let something go, but a second mod who sees it decide to take action? What measures are taken so that moderating is uniform among moderators, ex., ALL moderators remove a joke answer in the first post position (a new rule), not just some. Can a moderated answer or question be appealed? How? Are mods paid? What are the qualifications needed to be a mod? How many mods are there?
