Hiya,

As one of the moderators on WordPress.org, I can tell you that we want users to help users, it is a big part of the whole community aspect of things. We even encourage users to help others in their favorite plugin or theme support areas.

I will say, however, that a suggestion of a system to rank moderators is just outright cruel, and isn’t something we will even consider.

The moderators role is to uphold the guidelines to ensure a safe space for all users, and to moderate in discussions where things get heated, the outcome of that moderation depends on the scenario unfolding at the time.

If a post has been removed, it would have been for violating the guidelines in one way or another, or because it was outright spam. On the bright side, if it wasn’t spam, it is never deleted, we just archive it, so moderators can check up on any such claims, so feel free to reach out on Slack and I’d be happy to take a look.

One of the moderation tools we have is the ability to flag an account, if they are found to be in violation of guidelines, and we suspect it is likely to repeat it self. In such a case, one of the volunteer moderators will have to manually approve any topic or reply made for a period of time until we feel confident you can follow the guidelines. If this is the case you would have received notification of why you were flagged, and any posts made after that are unacceptable would be archived, instead of shown publicly.
