Moderation commands don't compare role hierachy of caller and "moderated"

Since the bot straight out bans, kicks, etc. after posting an infraction, won't it be possible for moderators to ban admins. Given the bots role is above admins. This makes it more of a trust based implementation over restricted.

In my opinion admins should not be able to moderate other admins, and moderators should definitely not be able to moderate admins (owners are above the bot in the hierarchy and can't be effected)

If it was not for the fact that joseph is an owner (and super duper owner) and the bot is under owner role in the hierarchy that may have very well gone through. (We were curious, didn't intend to try to ban Joseph)

Comment from Johannes Christ:

This is a honeypot to find untrustworthy mods. Don't tell the other mods. ㊙️

Should this be enforced for all moderation commands or just a subset?

I think only kick / ban / tempban should be fine. The others are often used for tests.
