I had to look it up. "Mni-modding" is when a non-admin does things that are ordinarily done only by an admin.

Obviously, there are some things that really can be done only by an admin -- for example, in this wiki, only admins have the power to block people. "Mini-modding" would be something like a non-admin warning another person that they have broken the rules. Except, a lot of the time, it's good that other members of a community warn people that they are breaking rules, rather than waiting for an admin to notice that there's a problem. In my experience, the "mini-modding" phrase gets thrown around by a trouble-maker who has been warned by someone else: "You can't tell me what to do!  You're mini-modding me!"

Now, what Tweedle the Bird did to you, in a message that I deleted from your wall, was mini-modding, in an illegal way. He told you that you were blocked (which you aren't), for asking about something illegal (which you weren't). Mini-modding isn't "illegal" unless it crosses the line into harrassing other people. Generally, merely pointing out to someone that they're breaking rules isn't harrassing them. Though trouble-makers like to pretend that it is.

Does that help?
