I provide answers for a few tags. Most of the moderation acts on those tags are made by people whose names I've seen time and time again on answers and comments. I see a bad question in my feed, click to close it, and see 'closed by the votes of' and the names are names I know.
There have been exceptions, e.g. we asked a site moderator to wipe someone's bas64-encoded password from a question. The user probably changed password, but we got a site moderator to wipe it thoroughly without waiting for that. I know those site moderators do a ton of work, but the power trip behaviour you see as questioner is done by answerers like me.
The site moderators do things like cleaning up vandalism or spam, when someone uses a script to add outgoing links to a thousand pages.
