I was wondering if this is even discussed anywhere in the policies of this network?

7$\begingroup$ I would note that even though it's always one moderator who actually applies the suspension, the decision to impose a suspension usually reflects a consensus by the entire mod team. (Same goes for the decision to cancel or reduce one.) So anyone who might be thinking of getting their suspension reversed by appealing to another moderator, it's not going to be that easy. ;-) $\endgroup$– David Z ModCommented Oct 8, 2015 at 16:03

This has already been answered here. Yes, it can be done, as explained in the post I just linked. Of course, such a measure must be possible since the moderators themselves are not infallible. One cannot run the risk of a "rogue mod" ruining an entire site, or something like that.

$\begingroup$ @NeuroFuzzy The shareholders of the SE Inc. In their view, they focus mainly to the economical results of the company. $\endgroup$– peterhCommented Sep 4, 2016 at 23:01
