why is it ok for mods to stalk users?
Mods don't "stalk" users - they are busy handling reports and issues that arise on the site. If one has been reported multiple times for violating the Terms of Service, mods will have to handle the reports and investigate the content posted by an account. This may lead to multiple messages, warnings, or even temporary bans depending on the content posted and which ToS violations occurred.
Also, bear in mind that a particular moderator may get multiple reports about a single user and handle those reports at one time. This also may seem like "being followed" when in fact, it is simply done for efficiency. Handling all reports against an offender gets them out of the queue.
