Mods should be able to get infractions too

Sorry, no, not feeling it.
All you're trying to do is create an extra level of infrastructure and bureaucracy where it doesn't need to exist. You're using "mods" as a general term for every non-normal user of this message board and that does not apply at all as we have no less than four usergroups of varying stature and posting ability. You cannot say "We need someone to keep the mods in line." because you're including administrators in that and if you put someone in place to keep the administrators in line then what control do the administrators have?
The admins are there to keep the supermods in line, and the supermods are there to keep the mods in line. And by extension the mods are there to keep the users in line. There is no room for a fifth group.

I don't think he's gonna invest in an automatic pizza-feeding-arm just so he can keep focused on work even while he's eating.

I don't disagree with you at all, my point is more that there is already way too much infrastructure going on here and adding another layer into it is just getting absurd. The upper administration (ie, people whose names are red and are actually part of the Admin usergroup) should be the final resort to what the players go to.
Note that I am not throwing my support behind anyone, I'm simply saying that the concept of a "Mod Manager" or a "Forum Manager" or a "Moderator Moderator" is absolutely dumb.
