[@AngelofOctober] On the other hand there was an autistic/savant moderator on RSWiki who banned anyone he didn't like, for any reason he chose. And this isn't something you can cover up, since everyone can see the edit histories of the user and forum pages; so when it came to light that these people were banned unfairly, this mod hid behind his disorder(s) as an excuse. He got angry easily, he was tired and cranky, he didn't know what the other person was saying or why he was trying to be so "mean" to him...whatever the case, always an excuse. He was always the ill-perceived victim both of his own brain and of other people's cruelty, and his autism always shielded him from criticism, since he "couldn't help himself," in one way or another.

Eventually the site staff wised up and booted him from his position of power, but most of the damage was already done, irreversible.

"Making accommodations" sometimes crosses the line into blatant favoritism. Not to mention that if you're a moderator, nothing excuses you from the responsibilities of your post. If you're unfit for the task then you don't belong in that station, plain and simple, particularly when plenty of other users on the site are more competent and fair than you, and can easily be equipped to replace you and give the site a proper leader. Giving power to the less-capable as an act of mercy, or even pity, is just foolish.
