Admins 'calling people lobsters' or similiar has been going on since forevever and I doubt anyone "supervised" that.
That "case" seems more like reaction to reports because it happend within hours of:
http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/22393?postID=156966#156966 and
http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/22393?postID=156981#156981 and
https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Infrastructure/issues/1029"Supervision" would be when admins
check each others behaviour - without reports by players.
There are/were many similiar/worse incidents and posts about it, admins always ignored it.
When it replays are involved my impression is that admins often do not watch them, which would be required of a real review.

A case of "teamkill" is really obvious. What does that need 3 admins for?
Put the replay-links in description of ban and there should be no doubt.
A bit chatting about how to act in supermegaobvious cases (like teamkill) is not "superversion" either.
Maybe instead discuss muting the "widget spammer" or banning the ""teamkiller"" in chickenmatch.
Or discuss behaviour of admins during their actions:

"Moderator arbitration is intended to resolve disputes, not prolong them" : Seems it does not apply to mapfeaturers making fun of muted player.

Did the admins discuss that? Or any of the other cases of admins trolling?

I interpolate from what I see.
Since long time to me has become clear no admin-forum exists: A sign that coordination can not be good.
If you should be one of those people who believe in a mythical admin-forum ->https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Infrastructure/issues/1026
Meaning at best they have the #zkadmin chat with its quirks
https://github.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K-Infrastructure/issues/775#issuecomment-153908443No adminforum, bad forum search, chat only, inprecise descriptions for penalaties = Unable to observe longtermn trolling.
Other tasks like mapfeaturing or forum-moderation are done by conflicting randomness or not at all, why should it be different in this areas?
Is any admin "policy" written down? Or are they different variants of policies and they only exist in the heads, as with mapfeaturing?
