Well, actually there is a higher authority than the mods… but only if you believe there is.
You can always pray to the god or gods (or devils) of your choice to seek vengeance, to visit with fire and brimstone or plagues of locusts or frogs or spam or whatever media your god/s prefer, or through whatever other channels of tribulation and retribution they visit upon their believers (or non-believers, if they work that way), or however else they handle miscreants and true believers, yada yada.
But that’s pretty much it on this site, I think. The chain of command goes from the mods to the gods, and there’s no more in-between.
And frankly, my experience with the gods is that they’re even lazier and more capricious than the mods, and far less effective communicators.
Also, their skill at HTML and basic editing just plain sucks. They’re* more likely to burn up your computer.
*The gods, that is. The mods are fairly benign.
Mostly.
