I'm just curious about this. Can a moderator surpass the daily limit of 20 reviews?

    $\begingroup$ Perhaps the question is "Why?" since you've just confirmed we can. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ In general, if the question is "can a moderator do ____," the answer is "yes." (Generally speaking.) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @AsafKaragila Mods can also come into your house at night and leave your milk out. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Wealll, it's a (hopefully benign) dictatorship, albeit an elected one. I guess. If they can do anything. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Moderators can do anything, yuppers. Hopefully they do their anything moderately. One might even commend the saying, "Moderation in all things . . ." $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Robert: But now by induction moderators have to moderate the times they moderate their moderation; but also to moderate the times they moderate the times they moderate their moderation; and so on ad infinitum. This sequence does not converge, and after $\omega$ steps there is still limit! $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @AsafKaragila: Recursive moderation! I like that! Something to keep the authorities occupied and looking the other way! Cheers! $\endgroup$

Moderators don't have a limit for the number of questions they can close, nor a limit for the number of the questions they can review in the close review queue.

From here, where you can also see the screenshot of a moderator with 60 close reviews in a day (vs the limit of 40 on Stack Overflow).
