The warden is the owner of the forum.
Sometimes the guards leverage their power for personal reasons. Thus, the inequality of treatment.

It was one of the few threads I enjoyed here, besides some of the more technical ones. Too bad.
I was a moderator for many years on a very large international forum, mostly technical subjects. The owner was not involved in any moderation. All important decisions were discussed by the team. We only closed a thread that clearly was attracting the trolls. The fact is that teams can be dysfunctional or not allowed to be a team by the owner. Don't know what the case is here, as I haven't been very regular but the fact is, someone else has the power, full stop. I'm fairly surprised they allow threads like this where people complain about moderation.
There's a forum where new ownership has botched a lot of things. The moderators were/are great though. The new owners thought, not so much. They swept the internet and bought a large number of forums, and made them all use the same software. A lot of people didn't like the changes, many were not for the better. People complained in vain. So what do you do? Roll your own.
