So, presumably, I can "donate" money to Jordan to get some... Extended rights concerning what I can/can't do. Diplomatic immunity? Maybe hookers and blackjack?

Jordan has better things to do with his time than read a few hundred Private Messages a day. If we get a complaint, he'll look into it. We wouldn't know about any problem or concern unless you contact a mod, admin, or Jordan directly. You can also block senders.
I will say that since PM's are very specifically targeted at their reader, anything that sounds like a direct threat or is extremely vulgar will be given zero tolerance.

Another quickie. This is a bit less of a pure "Mod" question.
What made you say "Yes, I'll make sure people don't shout at each other on the Internet"? Did Jordan promise you blue skies and green fields?

Essentially, the Golden Rule is pretty good place to start. Every member can be a Moderator of One; many people here are mature and as good as any moderator. The boss makes the final decision on who gets the nod.

IIRC a mod can only infract a person below them. So super mods can infract mods and members and admins can infract anyone bar other admins and Jordan.
Jordan can ban everyone.

Well, it's his toy...although one day I'll read the contents of that GTPlanet-emblazoned manila envelope that's in my safe deposit box.
Fired Mod = Banned.
Personally, I decided to step down due to my lack of GT5 knowledge/experience (and my declining care for gaming in general), and that moderation of that sort is best handled by experts who can shed a positive and enthusiastic light on the game, as well as the industry as a whole. We have plenty of "off-topic moderators" already, and so I personally felt it was time to pass the torch to someone else. Nobody made any suggestion to me, I decided on my own.
