For i, v loop doesn't stop where it should and just keeps on going even after an "else"?

Hello! I've got a bit of a problem with my ban command script, and I've narrowed it down to this function with the help of print debugging. My issue with this is that I'm trying to make it so that moderators within the game aren't able to ban eachother. However, this doesn't seem to work.

local function banByUserID(userid)
	local nameofUser = game.Players:GetNameFromUserIdAsync(userid)
	for i,v in pairs(moderators) do
		if v == nameofUser then
			print ("Nice try. /".. nameofUser.. "/ is a moderator and can't be banned!")
		else -- should stop at this once has detected a moderator
			if bansDataStore:GetAsync("banned_"..userid,1) then
				print ("User ".. nameofUser.. " has already been banned!")
			else
				if nameofUser then
					bansDataStore:SetAsync("banned_"..userid,1)
					if game.Players:FindFirstChild(nameofUser) then
						game.Players:FindFirstChild(nameofUser):Kick(reason)
					end
					print ("User ".. nameofUser.. " has been banned!")
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

It should stop at the "else" once it has detected a moderator, but it keeps going on, resulting in this and banning the moderator anyway. image showing output

The "moderator" variable is just a regular table with strings of people's usernames.
