As I understand it, "moderation" includes the act of approving nodes, moving unapproved nodes between sections, considering nodes for edits or deletion, and voting keep, edit, or delete on considered nodes.

Upvoting and downvoting nodes is not moderation.

There is really no correct way to vote. People have different strategies. For some voting, voting is an expression of agreement or disagreement. For others, it is hero worship or revenge. For others, it is a judgement of accuracy or style. All we can be sure of is that the majority opinion of what it should be is inherent in what it is.
