It would have to be a Mod not participating in the discussion and the negative rep must be warranted.

This way all rep is dealt out fairly from the visionaries and moderators of the board. Isn't that part of a moderator’s job anyway?

I agree -that's probably the best scenario. It's also gives the mods power to discipline smaller offenses without threatening a suspension or ban.
