What is the significance when a moderator had or need to be moderated?

Asked by Porifera (3069points) August 13th, 2011

The criteria of a mod are based on knowing the guidelines and rules well enough to moderate other people’s answers and questions. But, if moderators themselves get modded, what is the significance of that?
Does it mean they ignored the rules, forgot the rules, or didn’t know the rules well enough?
If they do not know the rules well enough not to break them, or overstep and ignore the rules, how many times does it have to happen before their ability to moderate comes into question? Isn’t it like a policeman breaking the law himself?
