Both showed a clear understanding of comp/ranked so it was ok, nothing wrong with modding sandbox players.
There's only a problem if they are being modded /because/ or partly because they are from sandbox, which not sure if it's the case but it could be. Hopefully not!
whats ur official opinion on the addition of a sandbox player as a moderator
I know absolutely nothing about Kino.
That said, nothing is wrong with a sandbox player as long as they 1. Are an established member of the community (Ie. Not a probable banned user) 2. Understand the game well enough to mod the reports
that is why you can only play setups where you do not have to think about complicated situations. if you come across a game mechanic that makes you think about it, you will have to ask someone else.
