Are moderators banning people who take too much time to play?

[T72on1]

In my most recent game of Ark Nova (arena) my opponent claimed that they were a game moderator, that they paired with me because I had previously been reported for intentionally stalling the game, and claimed I was doing just that with them in the current match, and that they would ban me after thie game was finished.

I was indeed taking a longer time than usual, as I was very tired and my mind was away, but I did not in no shape or form wait intentionally until my clock reached its last seconds to do my actions.

My opponents' messages were weird. At first they told me to hurry, and then that it was rude of me to not play quickly. Upon me telling them that I believe we're entitled to our time and that they could play a faster setting, they said that they would kick me as soon as I would be out of time, and that they would as well use all of their time. I told them I think that's normal. Later they said "im admister of this game. i will give you panalties", to which I replied "Your english makes no sense". Up until this point their English was very sketchy, yet from this point onwards they started writing paragraphs in perfect English about how they are an admin, looking me up from previous reports, and that running down the clock unneccessarily is a violation, and that I would be immediately banned, as even then I was chatting (with them) instead of playing, and I was not feeling remorseful about it.

I ended up concedeing the game as I couldn't concentrate, and they said that they put my account on probation, meaning that if I get 3 reports I will be banned.

My question would be on whether all of this is correct, or have I just been lied to.

Thanks for reading .

100% fake. Report them.
FYI, anyone can check the moderator list here: https://boardgamearena.com/team
Also, AFAIK 'BGA mods of an individual game' do not exist yet.

Is this really all the moderators? Doesn't seem like nearly enough
