You might have misinterpreted it. It referes to users falsely reporting users they disagree with. This often happens in the context of political discussions.
What I didn’t mean is removing comments I personally disagree with. This would indeed be mod abuse.
Sorry I meant that idiots flooding mods with false reports is abuse of mods ie creating extra work for the mod and taking hsi time away from the actual job.
I can see threat actors using this tactic to wear down the mod team.
Wouldn’t this be mod abuse?

You are right. We had some of those. They’re gone now.
EDIT: I was confused, since mod abuse is usually associated with mods acting unprofessionally / in bad faith.
