I'd like to think that it wouldn't be tested.

Indeed. I would have to say that a "gentlemans' agreement" would have to be the probable solution as in all parties involved that there is one caretaker of the echo. Not to start a war with this but that's why the echolist (amongst various reasons) is in existance in Z1. I know that other zones don't agree with it but that's not my point here. The echolist can establish who the moderator is publically without arguing the point to death. I don't know how that's handled in other zones so I can only speak from my experience.
However, in today's Fidonet, I'd say that it would be common knowledge of who a moderator is in a particular echo. There's not many of us left in Z1 who moderate echoes. I moderate 15 echoes myself now and there's rarely a reason to actually moderate though when it's needed, it's needed, if that makes sense.
I'm mainly there as a caretaker now.
(I didn't select the tagline on this message, really.)
