Perhaps you're not aware that Mat very much lets mods operate their forums fairly independently, and he's really the only guy that's going to be having a discussion with other mods about changing the way they moderate things.
There's a whole lot of forums here that would be moderated much differently if I was the mod, but if I were to go around to each of those forums and try to move them to my own vision of moderating, that likely wouldn't turn out well.
And I think you misunderstand what ATF moderators do. They moderate ATF. There's no expectation of them to go around and check on other forums, any more than there is for any other mod.
All of this said, if other moderators think a forum is turning into a train wreck, of course conversations sometimes happen privately between mods, or in the mod forum.

I actually think this is an interesting idea, if we had a moderator who wanted to run with it.
