Anything inaccurate we will at least comment on to correct. Sometimes removals are necessary, it depends on the content, but we give benefit of the doubt unless we have reason to believe it's deliberate, in which case the team would discuss the best course of action.
That's an interesting example. We do sometimes see comments phrased in such a way that it may lead the uninitiated to believe that person is a mod and we have asked for rephrasing in the past in those cases. I don't think we've had anyone deliberately pretending to be a mod.
[Edit - we do have a line on our helper page[1] about being careful not to sound like a mod here so as not to cause confusion. And a note in our reporting guide[2] about not engaging as if you are a mod when you are not - for user safety and to prevent confusion.]
