moderations
Acts of restraint
Moderations is the plural of moderation, but it appears most often in specialized contexts.
In British universities, Moderations (often shortened to Mods) are preliminary examinations, especially at Oxford.
In online platforms, moderations refers to content review actions: The post was removed after moderations flagged it for hate speech.
The singular moderation—meaning restraint or avoidance of excess—rarely takes a plural in everyday use.
