Just to clarify things up, I am the mod of the Troubleshooting forum and I never ever received a PM about a post report. I don't know if I would receive one if someone would report a post in the Troubleshooting section (which I don't think would happen often) but even so I beleive that's admins authority which prevail in such a case. Mods have nothing to do about this except to moderate that particular forum.
More often than not mods are only users who are particularly present in a certain part of the board and who possess a good sense of judgement over the rules and certain heated debates and who are more likely to act first before an Admin need to lost their time in something which would more likely than not end up a trivial task (like closing dangerous threads or warning users about spam and such). This have seldom to do with any decisive or important actions to be done on the board and thus we, as mods, only represent the competent authority (the admins) but are not one per se.
