Ask In practice, how often do moderators override publisher content approvals?

Usually, moderators don't mess with stuff that publishers have already approved—it doesn't happen that often. But if something slips through that breaks the rules, moderators can step in and take it down. They work under the authority of the platform (like a social media site or forum), not the publisher. So even if a publisher says, "This is good to go," a mod can still say, "Nope, this goes against our guidelines."
