By whom? In general, staff only intervene when there is a ToU violation. Other than that, the local community governs itself. Sure, bureaucrats can demote admins and admins can demote mods. However, that is based on local or even personal ideas about what is fair and what is not. There is no global policy saying that mods can't block users indefinitely nor is there a limitation built into MediaWiki.
