LW gives authors the ability to moderate comments on their own posts (particularly non-frontpage posts) when they reach a karma threshold. It doesn’t automatically remove that power when they fall back under the threshold, because this doesn’t normally come up (the threshold is only 50 karma). In this case, however, I’m taking the can-moderate flag off the account, since they’re well below the threshold and, in my opinion, abusing it. (They deleted this comment by me, which I undid, and this comment which I did not undo.)
We are discussing in moderator-slack and may take other actions.
