We don't need approval from Evilore in the sense that we're like submitting reviews to him before we are able to pull the trigger. We ban at our discretion through interpretation of TOS and whatnot. You know how difficult it would be for Evilore to sit there going down a list of every ban we have before approving them? Dude has enough responsibilities.
We log our bans and he certainly looks over them and overturns them from time to time and gives us an explanation why he thought it was wrong or whatever, but the reason mods are mods is because there needs to be individuals around to police things when he isn't around. If he had to approve everything he might as well have a much smaller group doing things since the mechanics would move much slower here around GAF
