Please could someone "in the know" explain how, hypothetically of course, one or more people with no particular influence could go about doing something to replace members of a moderation panel who were arguably abusing their position and grossly failing to moderate fairly, impartially or properly?

What are the options available (if any), and how are they invoked? Would a "class action" be more effective than an individual one? I've seen various tips around the place but it would be really handy to have them all in one place so that those who wish to do something about URCM (*ahem*, I mean, "no specific moderated uk.* newsgroup") would know where to start.

Thanks in advance.
